Hi,
I am developin an application for PALM OS 5 using the Codewarrior 9.2 for palm OS and using the 68K linker. It is a very CPU intensive application and I am facing some performance issues in it. I would like to link the same application as ARM code so that I could get the maximum speed.
Could anybody explain the process of doing the same. Any development tool or strategy that could be employed.
CW for Palm OS 9.2 will work for you. You need to learn about the PACE Native Object tools included in the package. I've posted some articles at www.palmoswerks.com on the subject, and there's an active pno-forum mailing list where people are talking about the topic.
CW92 comes with a PACEInterfaceLib.h header that exposes wrappers for many common Palm OS functions, allowing straightforward porting. You just need to decide where your 68K/ARM switch points will be, as you need to decide what info will be shared between the two parts of your program.
There's more, but older, info in the Targeting Palm OS manual that's part of the CW installation.
