I've heard Microwindows is ported on ARM .

May I get some more information about ARM-porting project?
We'll use EP7212 ( ARM720T core) to produce PDA.

Regards,
Minyoung.

Linux is ported to ARM. There was no "porting" of NanoGUI to arm- I just
built it and it worked, as you can with almost every other Linux package
(the main ones which cause problems are those which make incorrect
assumptions about how structures are aligned, and assume that "char" is
signed by default).

I haven't heard of that specific processor, but you may want to take a
look at the 7110 project (the processor used in the Psion 5 and Geofox
palmtops):

You might also want to try asking Ben Williamson ####@####.#### for
advice, as he has recently experienced porting the 7110 code to a new
(similar) processor.
