59:
60: <p>
61: The Palm port started as a fork of the Zaurus port in March 2009 with the
62: intention to make the system run on Palm Tungsten|T5. The project was later
63: approved as a semestral work at the <a href="http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/en/">
64: Department of Software Engineering</a>, <a
65: href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/toISO-8859-2.en/">Faculty
66: of Mathematics and Physics</a>, <a href="http://www.cuni.cz/UKENG-1.html">
67: Charles University in Prague</a> mentored by <a
68: href="http://www.egothor.org/~galambos/">Leo Galambos</a>.</p>
69: <p>
70: As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as
71: support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement
72: for the semestral project.</p>
73: <a name="status"></a>
74: <h3><font color="#0000e0"><strong>Current status</strong></font></h3>
75:
76: <p>
77: OpenBSD/palm has been tested and is known to be working on the following
78: models, Tungsten|T5, T|X, LifeDrive and the Zire72. There is also an initial
79: support for Palm Tungsten|C.</p>
80: <p>
81: Currently supported is the LCD, buttons, USB host (through a hub with external
82: power supply), PXA SD/MMC controller and UART (not available on Zire72). On Palm
83: LifeDrive also exists a driver for the builtin harddrive.</p>
84: <p>Additional patches that were not yet merged into the mainline tree are
85: available <a href="http://marex.hackndev.com/OpenBSD/">here</a>.</p>
