The t410 hardware should be fine. Unfortunately, we discovered that their 
OS is "soft-float", which means that our existing package will not work. 
We will try to produce soft-float packages as well, but we need to setup a 
new build environment etc for this, and there's not enough time for this 
until 4.2.0. But hopefully shortly afterwards. Bugs:

Support HP t410 ARM terminals

Set up a cross-compiler for "soft-float" ARM
