I used to run Linux (JLime Linux) and NetBSD on those. I did prefer the bigger NEC MobilePro competitors though, but I spent so much time on those Jornadas in college.


At some point some kristoff guy was developing some flashrom boards so that jlime linux on the hp jornada could have actual suspend to ram.

On one hand, it would’ve been cool.

On the other hand, at the time netbooks were becoming common and were essentially taking the spot of those kind of devices (jornada 728 etc).


Kristoffer Ericson was the driving force behind JLime Linux.

Along with OpenZaurus, these early hobbyist efforts to run Linux on embedded devices formed the basis of what became OpenEmbedded and has since been renamed Yocto, still one of the most commonly used embedded Linux development platforms.

I miss those days.
