HTC Universal

Introduction

This Wiki is a whiteboard for the project to run Linux on the HTC Universal PDA phone. Support for this phone is still in heavy development. While basic PDA functionality is allmost complete(feature_list), sound and the GSM chipset is only partially supported. There is no custom bootloader for the HTC Universal, so linux has to be booted via HaRET.
