Jornada Linux Mobility Edition (JLime for short) is a Linux distribution aimed for the HP Jornada platform . It was created in Late 2003 by Kristoffer Ericson and Henk Brunstin.It's being developed using the OpenEmbedded build system.

History and name

The work on JLime began in late 2003 due to the need for a working Linux distribution on the HP 6xx Jornada platform. The idea behind JLime is a distribution that brings speed and portability to the Jornada.The Jornada had been unsupported in 2.6 kernel (due to lack of developers / test machines) and first year was focused on enabling support. 2.6.9 was the first kernel to be able to boot.

In early February of 2006 the JLime site was renovated by the JLime forum user "chazco". [http://jlime.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=245]

Recent development (Q1 2007) is aiming at adding the NEC Mobilepro 900 among the supported devices.

JLime Installer

JLime developers "Chazco" and "B_Lizzard" created an initrd based installation tool which can install JLime onto the Jornada without the need of any Linux machine. Most PDA systems use flash memory, but the Jornada handheld computers lack this facility. Therefore, JLime is installed onto a (partitioned) compact flash card. The installer uses a text based dialog orientated interface.

Package management

JLime uses a minimalistic tool of APT called ipkg to handle packages (see package management system), it can install/remove/update through any existing internet connection or locally. Packages are downloaded from so-called feed repositories and dependencies are handled automatically. [http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg]

icewm on Jornada

JLime is a fully functioning Linux distro and currently uses icewm window manager as a GUI 'environment'. JLime includes the following applications with icewm: Minimo, Xchat, dillo, Rox-filer, Abiword, Leafpad, Torsmo and a few other useful applications.
