[Palm-linux-development] linux question for handhelds

[Brian V. <br...@ig...>]

Hello,

I have a question but am not sure where to get the answer.  We are in =
the process of designing a golf gps handheld for golfers.  It is very =
similar to a Palm handheld in size, weight, processor, and memory except =
that we are integrating a gps receiver.  One of our partners had asked =
if it was possible to have the unit run linux so they could OEM the =
handheld from us for their software.

My question is fairly straight forward.  Can a 16-33mhz processor run =
linux and could it support an internal GPS receiver?  Are there any =
specific issues we should be aware of prior to looking into a linux =
based handheld.  The program is currently running on the Palm platform, =
so it is relatively small in size and takes up very little memory.  Any =
information would be great.

Thanks,
Brian C. Verdugo
