Palm OS Developer Suite (Cont.)
Other than 68K, Palm OS Garnet, and Palm OS Cobalt application development, the Palm OS Developer Suite includes the following tools:
Simulators
Palm OS Simulator is Palm OS recompiled for a desktop machine processor.
Palm OS Simulator combines Palm OS system code, applications, and the Palm application compatibility environment (PACE) into a single execution environment.
Developer Suite includes both Palm OS Garnet Simulator and Palm OS Cobalt Simulator.
Emulators
The Palm OS Emulator is software that emulates the hardware of various models of Palm Powered handhelds.
It emulates 68K devices and runs ROM images of the Palm OS through Palm OS 4.x.
For testing applications for Palm OS Garnet or Palm OS Cobalt devices, use Palm OS simulator.
Wizards
Palm OS Developer Suite simplifies many tasks by using wizards to create new projects, import files, convert resource files, and build applications.
Palm OS Protein C/C++ Compiler and Integrated Debugger
The Palm OS Protein C/C++ Compiler is a full-featured, standards-based, optimizing C/C++ compiler that produces ARM executable files targeted for Palm OS Cobalt.
Resource Editor
A Palm OS software resource is a data structure that describes the characteristics of an application element.
For example, user interface elements, such as forms, dialogs, or text strings are all resources.
Palm OS Resource Editor is a visual resource editor that creates and edits XML resource description (XRD) files for Palm OS applications.
The XRD files contain XML tags that represent the resources for an application.
