Linux on the eLAP

Overview The IBM PowerPC 405LP is an embedded CPU designed especially for handheld applications. The IBM PowerPC 405LP PDA Reference Design, also known as the Embedded Linux Application Platform, or eLAP, is a sample board made by IBM based on the 405LP. It is designed to run Linux and demonstrate the 405LP's capabilities. It is expected that handheld devices derived from this design will be made and sold by third parties. The hardware in this device is very different from a typical PC or server, so it examines what is involved in getting Linux to deal with the device's peculiarities and take advantage of the hardware's features.
