[U-Boot] Porting U-Boot to HP TouchPad

[Graeme Russ]

Hello All,

Well it looks like I'm getting my hands on the now defunct HP Touchpad

Any ideas how I could port U-Boot (and ultimately Linux) to it?

Regards,

Graeme

There is a fair amount of talk about installing various flavors of linux 
(including Android) on the touchpad, e.g.

An http://opensource.palm.com/3.0.2/index.html lists U-Boot 1.1.2 - don't
these guys know how to keep up ;)

Looks like it should be pretty simple

With dumping price like that, HP's gonna make (or at least could make) a golden 
mine of this.

Did you have a look at the patches they provide against 1.1.2? To me
it seems they only use the mkimage tool out of u-boot and not the
bootloader itself. IIRC they had an own bootloader running on the Pre
mobile phone and other devices. Without source available. Not sure if
this changed with the Touchpad.
