1.6 bcallah 58: The Palm port was started as a fork of the Zaurus port in March 2009 with the
1.1 jasper 59: intention to make the system run on Palm Tungsten|T5. The project was later
60: approved as a semestral work at the <a href="http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/en/">
61: Department of Software Engineering</a>, <a
62: href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/toISO-8859-2.en/">Faculty

65: href="http://www.egothor.org/~galambos/">Leo Galambos</a>.</p>
66: <p>
67: As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as
68: support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement
69: for the semestral project.</p>

1.6 bcallah 74: OpenBSD/palm had been tested and was known to be working on the following
75: models: Tungsten|T5, T|X, LifeDrive and the Zire72. There was also initial
76: support for the Palm Tungsten|C.</p>
1.1 jasper 77: <p>
1.6 bcallah 78: Support included the LCD, buttons, USB host (through a hub with external
1.4 ian 79: power supply), PXA SD/MMC controller and UART (not available on Zire72).
80: On Palm LifeDrive there is also a driver for the builtin hard drive.</p>
