I am new here. My daughter got me a copy of Codewarrior 6 for Christmas. It seems to need a serial connection to my Palm Tungsten/E to check the code. I have a USB cable, but the IDE only gives me a choice of COM 1-4.
I haven't used CodeWarrior 6, but my guess is that connection is for debugging the application rather than (just) launching it. By the way, version 9 is the latest version of CodeWarrior.
It isn't clear from the Codewarrior documentation, but can I compile the and then hotsync it to the Palm and just run it there?
Yes, you can do that. Also, there a number of emulators and simulators you can get from both the palmsource.com and the palm.com developers' sites which allow you to test your application directly on the desktop. These have both disadvantages and advantages over testing on a real device. The disadvantage is that it's not exactly the same device, so you're not getting a perfect test of compatibility. The advantage is that the emulators and simulators have debug options you can turn on that will warn you if you make certain system calls that are not allowed (or with the wrong parameters or in the wrong order, etc.). - Logan -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
