NetBSD/hpcarm

o About NetBSD/hpcarm o

NetBSD/hpcarm brings the NetBSD operating system to Intel StrongARM based Windows CE PDA machines. Currently, the SA1110 processor is supported.

The port name "hpcarm" was coined from hardwares NetBSD/hpcarm runs: StrongARM based systems in Microsoft's H/PC (Handheld PC) form factor. A H/PC machine contains a keyboard and a touch screen, equipped with 8MB or more RAM. The port supports the HPC form factor, as well as the H/PC Pro and PsPC (Palmsized PC). (Many PsPC machines are used by the developers for active development.)

NetBSD/hpcarm is an ideal platform for mobile computing applications because of hardware sizes. And, of course, NetBSD/hpcarm supports all the standard features you expect NetBSD, such as IPv6 and IPsec.
