Linux already on HP Prime G2!

[Claudio L.]

A very promising advance!
Once all the reverse engineering data is collected (he got a lot already), we shouldn't need any hardware mods anymore. The only reason for the hardware mods is to boot in the chip manufacturer mode, before loading any bootloader or firmware from HP. Having alternative firmware loaded by HP's boot loader and updated through the HP Prime connectivity kit should be possible, but more information is needed before anyone can get that done. It was done by Boric for the G1, there's no reason to think the ROM format for the G2 would be too different, but so far nobody knew what to put in that alternative ROM. Now there's at least a few pieces of the puzzle.
