HOWTOs

• Linux Psion HOWTO(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Psion-HOWTO.html)
• FrEPOC - High Quality Free Software for Symbian Devices(http://www.freepda.org/)

Applications and Drivers

XPsiTouch

XPsiTouch(http://www.muru.com/linux/psion/xpsitouch/) enables the touch screen buttons around the LCD panel for X-Windows running Linux on the Psion.

ProBoot

Proboot(http://www.muru.com/linux/psion/proboot/) allows boot Linux directly from a CompactFlash card on Psion 5mx Pro handheld computers. Proboot does not work with the standard Psion 5mx, or Revo, please use ArLo bootloader instead.

Arlo BootLoader

Arlo(http://www.yipton.demon.co.uk/content.html#ArLo) is the boot loader that is needed to boot Linux kernels on psion devices. As of version 1.2, Arlo supports the Series 5, 5mx and Series 7. The Psion Revo (plus), 5mx Pro and Netbook will probably work, but that needs confirming.

PsiConv

PsiConv(http://software.frodo.looijaard.name/psiconv/) , EPOC32 PSION 5(MX) file format data conversion utilities for Linux.
