Hello, I have:
Colibri Pxa270 v1.2
Orchid rev.1.0
Windows embedded CE 6.0
The problem is that I need linux running on the machine. I took a look at some of your “tutorials” and I was completely lost.
I hoked up the RS232 and I got into the bootloader. I saw a option: Download image to FLASH now. But it needs ethernet connection with the image ready (I dont know how to do it, never tried a lan os installation).
So I need to find a simple way how to install a Linux into the machine. I was unable to find old versions of Linux for the Colibri PXA270 as well. Please… Help 
We do not officially support running Embedded Linux on the Colibri PXA270 which BTW meanwhile has gone end of life. However, you may find some ancient as-is BSPs here. Alternatively, one may run mainline U-Boot and or the mainline Linux kernel (experimental device tree available upon request) plus userspace of your liking (e.g. using OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project or Buildroot).
Oh OK. What’s the simplest way to install either windows or linux? I have only RS232 and ethernet avialable. I have a laptop running a ubuntu. Please help. It’s an interesting piece of hardware. I want to restore it’s functionality
Well, the official documentation for this legacy product may be found here:
