Does this mean that a linux port would be possible?

Both Linux and NetBSD (the OS Jean-Baptiste is most familiar with) have support for the S3C2416 SoC used by the Prime since day one. What they don't support (yet) is e.g. the GPIO assignment.

There's been a bit of low-level Prime development lately :)
Namely:
* newcomer "gigi1237" and Jean-Baptiste Boric are working on a Prime emulator based on QEMU: https://github.com/Gigi1237/qemu (s3c2416 branch). It can largely run Rip'Em, though it can't run the standard Prime OS yet.
* Jean-Baptiste's internship (end of studies) is over, so he's got some more free time now, and the emulator is bound to ease the task of working on Rip'Em :)

Good to see more Prime development. I was wondering if Rip'em was still maintained or not. It took so long until the HP Prime firmware is no longer riddled with fatal bugs that many people gave up and it did not help that the Prime community outside of TI websites was not friendly to non-educational software development a while back. I wish good luck to the author
