Re: Palm/PDA Content on FreeRunner
ACCESS has published an emulator, running palmos apps. one of the bigger companies licensed it and distribute it with their smartphones/tablets -- i am not sure, but it might be nokia and maemo. anyway, i asked w long time ago if access is going to make that thing avalibale to other linux based smartphones too, but only got the ususal bla about watching the development. ps: yepp, nokia -- see > http://www.intomobile.com/2007/11/13/access-releasing-palm-os-garnet-emulator-for-nokias-internet-tablets.html but i never heard anything about how it went. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Palm/PDA Content on FreeRunner
I don't know about the other OS's but in theory this is what you need for older Palm applications under Linux (without 3rd party cooperation): (1) POSE - the Palm OS emulator - this is open source and downloadable from the usual repositories ... but ... I think POSE only compiles for Intel, so you also need: (2) Some kind if Intel x86 emulator for the ARM Freerunner Finally (3) you need licensed access to a Palm OS ROM image, around version 3.5 (4.0 onwards are not compatible with POSE as far as I recall.) These ROMs are in development kits, and of course in old/recycled PDAs. Palm OS after version 4 is a completely differently kettle of fish that I can't begin to speculate on emulating on a Freerunner. Although later versions were an evolution of 3.5, at some point it switched architectures and became incompatible with POSE. Palm/ACCESS never produced another open source emulator: the later development kits were Windows only. ACCESS new Palm operating system is Linux under the hood, and Palm compatible, and may well run on Freerunner, with ACCESS cooperation. You would probably have to kick openmoko off it. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Palm/PDA Content on FreeRunner
There's a vendor that has software/content for mobile devices, and here is their selection: BlackBerry Palm Pocket PC P800 / P900 / A1000 (Symbian OS) What is the chance that this content can be accessed (someday) from a FreeRunner? (It may depend on the vendor's willingness to work on it, or on their willingness to co-operate; but is it possible without their co-operation?)
