Post by thread:[PIC] palm bootloader

I've googled around looking for bootloader code I could adapt to work on a palm, all I come up with are dead links. Has anyone utilized a bootloader that uses a palm pilot for the firmware upload? It would be a great use for the old palm pilot I have which otherwise collects dust. Regards, Bob

If someone wants to lend me a PalmPilot for a while (or even sell me one - I wouldn't mind a Palm III but they seem to go for silly money on ebay) I'd be happy to modify the uploader app for my PIC18 bootloader to run on a PalmPilot :) Later, -- Phil. | Acorn Risc PC600 Mk3, SA202, 64MB, 6GB, philpemKILLspamphilpem.me.uk | ViewFinder, 10BaseT Ethernet, 2-slice, http://www.philpem.me.uk/ | 48xCD, ARCINv6c IDE, SCSI ...

Shouldn't be too hard to come up with something using NSBasic.

I can also help you get off the ground with palmos as well if need be. It's the devel's own operating system if you are used to ANYthing else, believe me. Mail me off list if you want to go ahead. Cheers....Mike.

Phil, send me your mailing address offline, I have extra Palm IV wireless that I'd be willing to donate to the project. Since palm discontinued the first generation of wireless service its of no use to me anymore.
