So, is there a free, preferably open source, means of getting images onto a Palm m515 or earlier (Palm OS 4.1)?

If it can be done with Linux, all the better, since hotsync is not working in Windows XP for whatever reason.

In other words, I would want to take a JPEG image, convert it to palm format somehow, and then put it on the Palm during hotsync (or palm-xfer on unix).
 
It depends. Where you just looking for a viewer or editor? And what image formats are required? Just jpeg? I have quite a few palms... original palms to sony clie's to a TX and a Centro Phone.

For handhelds before os5, not much freeware wise...

Try that out, problem is it does not do jpeg unless you own a clie or palm w/ camera. It will however support bmps.
 
pilot-link should work on PalmOS 4.1. www.pilot-link.org
It talks the hotsync protocol. I've used it to backup and restore my own Palm devices. That was PalmOS 5.1 but pilot-link should work with older devices too. And it runs on Linux, as the OP requested (and comes included in some distros too).

I have pilot-link; that's where pilot-xfer is from. However, from what I can see, there doesn't seem to be a way to transfer images with that to the Palm? On Palm 4.x?

I'm getting rusty on Palm.. I still use mine, but I don't install anything anymore. I had forgotten the database concept there for a moment.. so your image file would have to be converted to a .pdb before you could transfer it via pilot-xfer (with -r), or you would need a conduit. What's probably easiest then is going the SD route, as suggested by twolazy.
