Hello,
I have a request to adapt Palm OS for a hardware device, that shall be developed next time. Target CPU is intended to be XScale.
What must be done to make it running on such a new device. What tools are available? Are there any evaluation boards for expermental usage which can be used as a base for own developents and that run with PalmOS?
Are common drivers available? How to get USB 2 support in PalmOS? (probably processor dependent)
Doing Palm OS device bringup really requires that your company either be a member of the Palm OS Ready program or be a Palm OS licensee, or at least be working with those groups within PalmSource to get an exploratory license. Please contact PalmSource through business channels to get information on this.
PalmSource does supply some reference drivers for hardware that we used to develop our OS releases, and additional drivers are supplied by Palm OS Ready partner companies. For USB 2 support, you'd probably need to use Palm OS Cobalt 6.1, as that release added USB-on-the-Go support, but I'm not sure.
