Linux on HTC Magician
Home | News | Users' Documentation | Developers' Center | Hardware
Introduction
This Wiki is a whiteboard for the project to run Linux on the HTC Magician PDA phones. Support for this phone is still in heavy development. While basic PDA functionality is complete, sound is not working completely and there are bluetooth wakeup issues. There is no custom bootloader for the HTC Magician, so linux has to be booted via HaRET.
