Things that work

  • Linux 2.6 kernel
  • Everything except the software modem

Downloads

There is a new OpenEmbedded based release available at http://handhelds.org/~chicken/jornada_720/oe.

Load the .jffs2 image as usual using "load root" in the bootloader. NOTE: Those images only work with a flash board!

Remaining issues

These issues are being addressed. Come back soon!
  • Get the software modem going
  • Battery life is not too good during zZz, better power management needed

Developer Information

This device is one of the first PDAs to run the Linux 2.6 kernel.

See our Wiki for details about how to build your own kernel and write drivers for our device.

You are also invited to write applications by contributing to the GPE and Opie projects.
