[parisc-linux] Documentation PARISC 2.0

[Carlos O'Donell Jr.]

PARISC'ers,

Does anyone have the PA-RISC 2.0 Architecture and Instruction
Set Reference Manual in pdf format? (or ps format)

I have the PA-RISC 1.1 docs, but the 2.0 docs seem to be 
available only as online html.

dunno about pdf, but there's a PA2.0 architecture book (dead tree kind). 
It's out of print but you can order it by special order from places 
like FatBrain.  It's definitely a good reference.

looks like HP reorganized some of the web pages and some of the links
from http://www.parisc-linux.org/documentation/index.html are out of
date... can someone fix them?

Like randolph observed, docs.hp.com has been re-org'd.
I did find help for pa-risc at:
http://dsportal.eservices.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechTypeListingPage_IDX/1,1704,10403,00.html

It does seem to offer docs in pdf format.

hth,

I just saw that everything but that doc is offered as pdf.
I've left feedback to the site and encourage others who
want the pdf version to do the same.

thanks,
grant

It may not be as nice as the Official HP stuff, but in Linux you can
roll your own PDF documents from the online html using html2ps and
ps2pdf from the html2ps and gs packages in Debian, respectively.  It's
not Adobe Distiller but the result is pretty good.

[BRANN,PAMELA (HP-FtCollins,ex1)]

Carlos, Randolph and others interested in PA-RISC 2.0 documentation -

My name is Pamela Brann and I am the new topic area owner for the pa-risc
section of HP's developer and solution partner portal (DSPP.)  This is the
portal Grant referenced in one of his replies to this thread.

I wanted to let you all know that I am currently looking into the
availability of providing a PDF version of this document on the pa-risc
topic page, located at
http://dsportal.eservices.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechTypeListingPage_IDX/1,17
04,10403,00.html.  As Randolph mentioned, there is a hard copy of this book
and it is actually still available through Amazon.com (at least.)  There is
a link off the site linked above where you can order a copy of this book
online.  We have had some restrictions from the publisher in the past which
have kept us from publishing a PDF version of this particular document.  I
am currently looking into the status of these restrictions to see if we can
post a copy for you in this format.  Once I have a firm answer, I will post
to this list again with an update.  In the interim, feel free to use the
online version which is available from this site as well.

Please feel free to email me personally if you have any additional questions
about pa-risc documentation or if there is any other information that we can
provide for you on this site.
