The pdQ can be seen at http://www.qualcomm.com/pdQ. This is, of course,
a very different product from a devlopment standpoint since its
basically a PalmPilot (based on the Motorola dragonball processor (CPU32
- more or less a 68020 core). It is probably not a good topic for the
MIPS mailing list.
OTOH - this product has a fair shot at taking the world by storm by
integrating the most popular handheld computer with the fastest growing
cellular/PCS base in the United States. Getting Linux onto it would
have some very exciting possibilities.
Question:
Is it really that easy to move Linux from one MIPS platform (like the
3900) to another (like the 4111)? I found that I quickly got in over my
head while moving kernel code from a MIPS II part to a MIPS III part -
mainly because of the subtlety of good cache management and proper use
of the memory manager.
