[beginner]how To Go Back & Do I Have The Stuff To Go Back? Options

[lennart]

Hi all,

I've bought a Simpad SL4 on "the internets". I want to experiment with a Linux distribution. Which is the most common / supported / "easy" to start with?

The Simpad has / is:

• Windows CE 4.1 Build 908
• Software variant S842-SI-INT-152
• Boatloader: Siemens Switzerland V2.5.3.10.06.2003

On a CD i've the following software:

• Some docs (datacable, datasheets of bootloader (?)(i can put them on the internet))
• A folder with images:
• CE41 / sl4_winCEnet41_ENG.bin is this the one that is installed?
• HPC2000
• some images for the CL4, SLC, TSINUS
• some CE & Windows software
• serload.exe
• pbl-simpad-1.0
• jtag-0.4
• include-0.4

When something goes wrong, do i have enough to go back? What is the rescue plan to restore the old CE on my Simpad? Is there a way to copy the Rom 1:1 to my harddisk? That would be ideal.
