We wrote a HAL for a microcontroller, but in that case
we knew that we could program it as we wish. In the
case of the palm we want to know if we can do the
same, i mean use the complete instruction set and
interact directly with the microprocessor. Of course
we have to build a bootloader, drivers and a lot of
things that together make the HAL. What we want to
know is if there is any limitation concerning access
to the chip a very low level.
Thank you,

Leo
