A kind of User Manual repository for SwissMicros devices.
The info that is currently available on the SwissMicros website must be somehow available as an off-line User Manual for anyone needing the information; if you try to download a page from the website as HTML (full), you will notice that this is difficult (or bulky if using a web scraper)...
This project is a first attempt to concentrate the information in an easy way (pending a possible better solution by SwissMicros, and/or hopefully stimulate them to deal with this issue). Ideally, this could be a shared, open sourced effort.
What would be needed off-line:
- Battery replacement
- config
- LCD contrast setting
- fonts
- speed
- other key combinations
- instructions how to set up the serial console
- firmware install/upgrade procedures for all platforms, with link to website
- memory versions information
- HTML utility
- Links to
- HP user manuals
- driver (FlashMagic, lpc2lisp, ...)
- Ideally...
- sourcecode of the Firmware update tool?
- be able to export this GitHub project as e.g. PDF
- And in a distant future
- If SwissMicros ever consider leaving the market for whatever reason, they should open source their code so other can take over if needed.
