Debugging Tools
Developing Palm OS network applications is hardly different from standalone applications. Debugging network applications is a different story. The majority of standalone applications can be debugged directly on the device using either the CodeWarrior or PRC tools debugger. The debugger uses the Palm Serial Link protocol to communicate with the device over the serial port. Network applications need the same serial port to access the network.
Fortunately there are solutions that allow you to debug and test your network application. The Palm OS Emulator (POSE) provides a virtual device that runs on a desktop and allows developers using either CodeWarrior or PRC tools to debug their network applications at the source level. Mochasoft’s MochaPPP simplifies testing by letting the device share the host desktop’s network protocol stack. We will discuss each of these tools in turn.
Palm OS Emulator
POSE emulates a Palm device at the hardware level. In fact, it emulates a wide range of Palm and Palm-compatible devices, using images of the actual device ROMs. POSE enables source-level debugging of all Palm applications, especially network ones.
Palm, Inc. provides versions of the Palm OS Emulator for Windows and Mac OS; it has also been ported to Linux. This tool is available on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. The source code is available for Unix developers; they must build the tool themselves. POSE can be used with either CodeWarrior or the PRC tools. You should ...
