Palm OS 5

[jonasfritzin]

Hi,
I use CodeWarrior 8. I am going to develop a program using Bluetooth and I know it is supported in OS 5. I wonder how to be able to emulate my programs in OS 5 when the latest ROM version file is 4.1 or can I just extract OS 5 from a Palm using OS 5?

If I am successful extracting OS 5 can I then use Emulator version 3.5 together with CodeWarrior? Even if you are not using CodeWarrior, maybe you can give me some proposals, I am a TRUE beginner... :-)

Thanx!

Cheers,
Jonas Fritzin

Its been a while since you posted but since there's been no reply here's a few thoughts. You can get the header files for bluetooth for Codewarrior 8 from Palm. That way, you can compile your code and run it.

As far as debugging with bluetooth, I think you are going to have to use the actual device to do that. If you want the CodeWarrior debugger to debug code executing on your Palm hardware device (not empulator/simulator) you will need to have the proper debugger nub which can handle your device. Since CodeWarrior 8 preceeeded any of the bluetooth devices, I think this is unlikely.

You might want to get Codewarrior 9 if you need that as I know you can do hardware debugging on the new devices with that.

One last thought - you might want to post to the bluetooth forum:

Additionaly, depending upon what you want to do, you may be able to use a higher level API to get what you want done, such as the excahnge manager. That way, you can get everything running using infrared and then get bluetooth for free.

SSchmitz99, impressive knowledge. I need to know what an Empulator is, some kind of simultor I know. But I can find any defintiton of the term.
