Can the HP Jornada 820C Run Something other than WinCE?

Posted by Cliff on from the looking-for-alternatives dept.

!TorpedoBay asks: "I am looking for an OS to run on an HP Jornada 820C - want to get rid of the CE thing. I know this is a 16MB ROM machine - is there any way to replace this OS with PalmOS or with a stripped down Java OS ala Espial or something else? How hard is it to replace the ROM chip in these devices anyway?"

    I have some links for you:
    The linux sh3 homepage, they specifically list some Jornadas.
    The linuxce webpage is down, but the faq is still up, as is the mailing list.
    The linux sh homepage.

    Some of this may not apply to you, I just wanted to give you a good place to start looking.
