[jornada] how to get jornada hw info?

Dear Greg,

I'd like to port linux to the jornada 820, and I wonder how you got
the technical information necessary to port it to the 720 --
which devices were available and mapped to what addresses,
what were the right parameters to initialize them, etc.

* did you have access to detailed information from hp?
 where to go and whom to contact about it?

* did you find a way to introspect or decompile the settings by WindowsCE?
 what tools did you use for that?

* did you peek and poke at random?
 what guidelines do you recommend?

Linux is stuck after decompressing (at least part of) the kernel,
but I think I know where the framebuffer is mapped --
is there a way to subvert the framebuffer into a debug printing area?
Problem being the kernel is decompressed over the framebuffer --
what is the right thing to do to move it away?

If you could make a programming language where programmers could write in
english, you'd find that most people can't write english.
