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

68: <p>
69: As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as
70: support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement
71: for the semestral project.</p>

1.6 ! bcallah 80: Support included the LCD, buttons, USB host (through a hub with external
1.4 ian 81: power supply), PXA SD/MMC controller and UART (not available on Zire72).
82: On Palm LifeDrive there is also a driver for the builtin hard drive.</p>
