Re: Uninitialized MemHandle Can Cause Reset Loop

2010-05-27 Thread Dr. S.L. Sanders
Thanks, David, for the reply. 1. The warm reset in this instance was no help; it wouldn't break the loop. The hard reset was the only alternative (except for the lucky break I described.) 2. I understand what the OS designers are up against, since I've "been there and done that". I'm an old guy.

Uninitialized MemHandle Can Cause Reset Loop

2010-05-25 Thread Dr. S.L. Sanders
A small 68000 program for my T5 would load and test normally under the Palm OS Debugger. Closing the debugger would begin a normal soft reset of the T5, but a fatal exception would occur just before the "Tungsten" logo would normally appear. A warm reset would get past this, but tapping the "H

Hi -- The sequence of #include statements can be important. In a test program, I had #include "ImageLib.h" #include "ImageLibCommon.h" #include "ImageLibTraps.h" The compiler (gcc) emitted "warning: possibly bad __callseq__ `trap #xx" for every functiion call in ImageLib.h. I looked at

Hi Tam -- Thanks for the suggestion. I checked my libraries, and I think I'm running the latest PalmPhoto for the T3. Here's what I've done concerning that library: I downloaded PalmOne_SDK_v3[1].0.zip (back in Nov. 2006) from http://developers.palm.com/pe/forums/displaypost.jsp?postID=1014

Hi -- The VFS API provides operations like open, read, write, close, and so on, on a virtual file system designed to operate somewhat like MS-DOS. The data in the file to which these operations are applied is only a bit stream; the meaning of the data isn't relevant. (Plainly put, VFS f

Hi, Ryan-- The only hardware I've had a chance to test is my own T3 and a friend's Treo650 (which can't rotate or expand its display, so the problem wouldn't show there). As I noted, the PalmPhotoDisplayImage all-white landscape image problem doesn't happen on the T3 simulator or the T5 sim

Thanks for answering, Lee! I knew the 5-year-old T3 was no longer being marketed by Palm, but thought there could be a lot of people "out there" like me, who still use the T3 because of its 320x480 landscape display. My product makes good use of that feature (at least on the simulators) to show
