Hi Rodolfo,

Here's a couple of tips that may help with debugging with CodeWarrior on a
Handspring device. The first paragraph covers Handspring specific tips. I
believe the knowledge base article talks about the error code you saw:

You must also press and hold the "UP" key on the Visor when you initiate a
[shortcut dot dot 2] command to enter console mode when using the debugger.
Note that when using CodeWarrior and initiating a debugging session, you
must continue to press the "UP" key until your code window actually opens.
This can take a while, as the code must first download to the Visor, so if
you are using CodeWarrior, remember to hold the "UP" key until you see the
actual code window.

For CodeWarrior specifically, the Palm Knowledge Base contains an article on
connecting to the debugger:

http://oasis.palm.com/dev/kb/faq/1790.cfm

There is another utility called DebugPrefs.prc that may be useful as well.
It can be downloaded here:

Hope that helps.

Subject: Running Debugger on Handspring Prism with CW R6 using serial
cradle


I am having trouble debugging my application directly on the Prism. This is
exactly what I am doing. What am I doing wrong?

I start CodeWarrior  Release 6
Open up my project and build it.
In the IDE preferences I select Palm OS Device COM1
(I do have a serial cradle for my Handspring Prism)
If HotSync is running, I stop it.
I hit F5 to start the debugger
Get a message asking to place device in console mode.
I turn on my Prism, hit FIND and type the "Shortcut" symbol, two taps and
the number 2
Takes a second and acknowledges with a quiet beep
Hit Okay on the message on the PC
Here comes the problem:
Invariably I get the message "The debug helper app could not be found", "The
registry key, "BDWM" is not defined.

Now. When I try double-clicking on the .prc.psym file, CodeWarrior tells me
it cannot open files of this type.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
