Summary

This Wiki is a whiteboard for the project to run Linux on the HP iPAQ h1940. h1940 is entirely different device from h1910. h1910 has it's own page as well. This is a port in progress.

The port is based on the 2.6 Linux kernel.

For the official status, please see the [WWW]H1940 Status Page. Latest updates to this document can be found at HpIpaqH1940Status

Introduction

We are using this White Board to gather all the knowledge we are going to get about the iPAQ H1940. We are actually hoping that many people will join us in our effort and share their experiences with porting Linux on the H1940.
