i've been developing since 1999 on palmos; so, i've been around.

the point is; what are you going to do with the debug roms?

flash them to your device? the only debug roms that were something
you as a developer could use were only for use in POSE or PalmSim.
if you cannot debug on the simulators; you need to use alternative
debugging techniques on the devices themselves.

- printf to a file (on memory card)
- debug dialogs..

you can forget doing native ARM debugging stepping through code;
thats definately not supported in a nice and easy way - although, there
was some work done on it.
