1.6 bcallah 36: The Palm port was started as a fork of the Zaurus port in March 2009 with the
1.1 jasper 37: intention to make the system run on Palm Tungsten|T5. The project was later
38: approved as a semestral work at the <a href="http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/en/">
39: Department of Software Engineering</a>, <a
40: href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/toISO-8859-2.en/">Faculty

44: <p>
45: As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as
46: support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement
47: for the semestral project.</p>

1.6 bcallah 52: OpenBSD/palm had been tested and was known to be working on the following
53: models: Tungsten|T5, T|X, LifeDrive and the Zire72. There was also initial
54: support for the Palm Tungsten|C.</p>
1.1 jasper 55: <p>
1.6 bcallah 56: Support included the LCD, buttons, USB host (through a hub with external
1.4 ian 57: power supply), PXA SD/MMC controller and UART (not available on Zire72).
58: On Palm LifeDrive there is also a driver for the builtin hard drive.</p>
