Hi folks,
I'm just wondring are there a How-to down-loadable from somewhere
describing what stpes should be taken (what changes needed to
the makefile and sources) to move from 68k to ARM developing.
unfortunately, there isn't any easy how-to guides out there for this
your question is not really with ARM; its specifically to deal with
Palm OS Garnet, and being able to utilize ARM code in your app.
there is no functionality by default that allows you to compile native
ARM applications; you still build a 68k application - yet you have a
set of routines you want to optimize for speed written as ARM
chunks. you can then call those ARM chunks from your 68k base.
a number of developers have figured out how to effectively have a
small 68k stub and then execute the whole application; including the
user interface, callbacks purely in ARM code. there is no OFFICIAL
supported API for this; however, some developers have published
information on how to do this.
some info here, might help (its incomplete)

if you've for balls - you can also try the mobile-stream SDK; which
is unofficial of course which allows you to write native ARM apps.

its not for everyone; and, you need to be EXTREMELY sure of what
you are doing; dont just use it and say "it works". its an advanced
toolset; and, needs to be used with care.
