Revision 1.18, Mon May 27 22:55:21 2019 UTC (5 years ago) by bentley
Substantially clean up and modernize HTML markup across openbsd.org. This was done with three purposes in mind: - to reduce the massive amount of inline HTML, to be easier on developers adding actual content - to allow running the HTML validator across the source (doing this found many unintentional mistakes in the present code, including at least a dozen cases of half- or fully-invisible text) - to separate content from presentation, so appearance can be controlled through stylesheets Great care was taken to keep all pages, even very old ones, looking the same, give or take a few pixels of whitespace. Much review, critique, and improvement from tj@ |

The project was later approved as a semestral work at the <a href="http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/en/"> Department of Software Engineering</a>, <a href="http://www.mff.cuni.cz/toISO-8859-2.en/">Faculty of Mathematics and Physics</a>, <a href="http://www.cuni.cz/UKENG-1.html"> Charles University in Prague</a> mentored by <a href="http://www.egothor.org/~galambos/">Leo Galambos</a>. <p> As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement for the semestral project. <h3 id="status"><strong>Current status</strong></h3> <p> OpenBSD/palm had been tested and was known to be working on the following models: Tungsten|T5, T|X, LifeDrive and the Zire72. There was also initial support for the Palm Tungsten|C. <p> Support included the LCD, buttons, USB host (through a hub with external power supply), PXA SD/MMC controller and UART (not available on Zire72). On Palm LifeDrive there is also a driver for the builtin hard drive. <h3><strong>Supported hardware</strong></h3> <ul> <li style="list-style-type: none"> For a complete system component and device driver listing for this architecture, see <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/zaurus/intro.4">intro(4/zaurus)</a>. <p> <li><strong>Tungsten|T5 / T|X / LifeDrive / Zire 72</strong> <li>Intel PXA27x ARM CPU. <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/com.4">com(4)</a> standard, infrared and bluetooth serial ports. <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/palm/lcd.4">lcd(4)</a> display panel, supporting <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/zaurus/wscons.4">wscons(4)</a>. <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/palm/wskbd.4">wskbd(4)</a> keyboard. <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wd.4">wd(4)</a> on-board microdrive. <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ohci.4">ohci(4)</a> USB controller supporting most <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/usb.4">usb(4)</a> devices. <!-- , or acting as a <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cdcef.4">cdcef(4)</a> 'ethernet' slave. --> <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/palm/pxammc.4">pxammc(4)</a> MMC/SD/SDIO controller. <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/palm/pxagpio.4">pxagpio(4)</a> GPIO controller. <!-- <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/palm/apm.4">apm(4)</a> power management and suspend. --> <p> <li>Devices that can be connected: <ul> <li>Most USB devices, see <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/usb.4">usb(4)</a> for a list. </ul> </ul>
