I ported modern Linux to a ten-year-old HTC QWERTY phone as a handheld terminal.

I wrote it up here: https://tmzt.github.io/blog/a-modern-port-of-linux-to-a-ten-...

You can see the code here: https://github.com/tmzt/linux-stable-msm-dtsi

The HTC Evo 4G isn't a QWERTY phone though? https://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_4g-3427.php

Even doing a Google search for "Sprint EVO 4G" doesn't reveal a keyboard.

Do you have the gsmarena link to the exact model?

Edit: Did further digging, seems like you're talking about the HTC EVO Shift 4G. If so, you should update your blog with the correct model name.

As someone interested in this area: thank you

I pushed all the intermediate branches as well.

Good write up. interesting idea. thank you

The fact this phone is 15 years old and has seen minimal obvious replacements is such a shame. I love this work!
