Palm Pilot Links

I've written a separate page describing how to get started developing for PalmOS on Linux.

Using a Palm with Linux

Using your Pilot with Unix
• The Gadgeteer Has some linux info too
• Palm->Linux Tools
• O'Reilly article
• Palm Open Source I just found out about this great-looking resource! Wish I'd known about it months ago.
• How to connect a Palm to the Internet
• Visor (and other USB PalmOS PDAs) on Linux HOWTO
• Linux software supporting Palm

Development

• Palm's official page on development tools including Linux info
• RPM for prctools 2.0.92 works much better than the 2.0.1 RPM on Palm's site
• PRC-Tools Tutorial
• Tutorial for sdk 3.5 and gcc
• Cyberport's PalmOS Programmer FAQ
• Setting up developer tools for Pilot under Unix
• Getting Started with PRC-Tools from Cyberport -- lots more useful information elsewhere on that site
• palm pilot software development with linux
• Palm and Linux: Making the Connection
• PalmGear's software development links
• Palm OS Programmer's Companion official API documentation in HTML, not acrobat (yay!)
• Palm OS Emulator HOWTO Note this is for POSE, not xpilot. It also includes instructions on how to compile a program for the Palm, the only page I've found yet which does.
• Cyberport Floating Point FAQ
• Palm's documentation on floating point
