Ok, this is going to sound like a dumb question, and I am sure that I will get a million responses saying "look it up yourself!" or "Google it!" (which I have), but I am going to ask anyway.
Is it possible to use arm-palmos-gcc instead of m68k-palmos-gcc to make a 100% pure arm application? I have read and people have said that you need to have an m68k loader, and the reast could be ARM code, but Aaron Ardiri says otherwise (from http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_story.asp?ID=6487): "> Nope, the current version of OS 5 can't do native ARM code, only a68k with ARMlets to speed up applications. wrong. its totally possible to do 100% ARM native apps - just take a look at the hotsync application, it is 100% ARM. the update program from tapwave was also 100% ARM - its not officially documented; but, it is possible." How would I go about doing this? I have been looking around, and I have found nothing so far. Aaron stated in some posts on this newsgroup that all that is neede is a very small (1-2k) m68k loader). He also stated that it would be possible that no loader would be needed (he refers to the HotSync app and the Tapwave ROM loader). If I couldn't easily do a pure ARM app without a loader then what code would I need to include in the loader (PilotMain obviously) and how would I call the ARM code (I have seen an program using PEAL, but I think PEAL might be a hassel to use). Anyway, if nobody can provide any help/samples, at least this might make an interesting discussion. Thanks much, Donald C.
