So close...

I feel like I'm really close to solving this one...I've got my Prism to this point:

code:

Initializing parser...
Initializing lex...
Installing keywords...
Initializing eval...
Initializing exec...
Loading startup script...
============================
DebOut = false
SymbolsOn = true
StepRegs = false
ReadMemHack = false
Attached = false
............................
dot address = 00000000
last address = 00000000
last count = 00000000
============================

What happens when you issue commands to the debugger after that?

Because that seems to be what should happen

POSE works but how do I hotsync

Thanks for the info on getting POSE running on my laptop.
I have a new Visor Platinum and I got POSE running by downloading the ROM using the USB port. It works great, but
I don't exactly know how to sync my files now that it is running. I have set the preferences to usb/serial but when
I try to run hotsync on the emulator it fails to connect.
Any ideas here?

Thanks

Steve

Hotsync'ing is pretty easy, but a bit convoluted to set up.

If you have a serial cable and two free serial ports, you can run the cable from one to the other and do a (serial) sync that way. Otherwise you do a network sync.

Make sure the hotsync conduit is running with network enabled, and that the user you want to hotsync has your pc set up as its primary pc.

under setting,properties in POSE click the redirect to
tcp/ip button. Open the hotsync app. set modem is set to network, lansync to lansync, fill in the info on primary pc name (use 127.0.0.1 if you don't have an ip). Finally you
need to configure a connection. Just enter 00 for the
phone number.

That's it, modem sync should work.

Hi folks,
I am not having success downloading the ROM from my Visor. It has 2MB of memory and has Palm OS v.3.1H2 running. I am following NASHDJ's outlined procedure. The shortcut to get the unit into debug mode works fine with the buzzing and blinking square up in the corner. I am running the debugger on the pc from C:\Handspring\prc-tools\bin\Palm-Debugger.exe and have the empty '...bin\Device' directory ready and waiting! The connection setting has been set for USB. I also tried disabling the Hotsync program on the Win98 explorer toolbar in case it might interfere with the debugger program but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Here's a screen dump of my results from starting the debugger and issuing the 'save' command.

//Debugger
******************************
Initializing parser...
Initializing lex...
Installing keywords...
Initializing eval...
Initializing exec...
Loading startup script...
============================
DebOut = false
SymbolsOn = true
StepRegs = false
ReadMemHack = false
Attached = false
............................
dot address = 00000000
last address = 00000000

'save "visor.rom" 10c00000 200000'
$73617665 #1935767141 #1935767141 'save'

I'm not seeing the percentage counter come up at all. Also, when I try the "reset" command to return Visor from debug mode there is no response so I'm having to do the soft reset with the ol' paperclip. It seems like I'm not getting a connection over the USB but I have no problems Hotsync'ing with the USB port I'm using. Any clues as to how I may be screwing this up? I just downloaded the Falch.net IDE and am psyched to start learning to use it but I need to get over this hurdle first. TIA, ~Jim

jimboh:

It would appear that the debugger is not making or recognising the connection to your visor. But from what you have said it would appear that you are also doing everything right.

Upon detection of debugger mode on the visor, the debugger should print something like ===== Welcome to the Palm OS Debugger!! ===== but you dont seem to have that, so its some sort of connection problem.

Yet you say it USB syncs just fine, and you have tried with it disabled. Hrmmm. My only ideas,
- try plugging into a different USB port, this *sometimes* has an effect.
- try a search for a usb device monitoring tool, there is one around (i forget the name) that shows connections as they are made. Try running this when your visor is in debug mode in the cradle to see if it is trying to make a connection - if not there may be something wrong with it.
- try another computer if you can..

Okay...this may be some progress but still no go. I tried using the other USB port on my pc and results were the same. Then I performed a hard reset on the Visor and tried again from scratch. I start the debugger on the pc and get this initial screen:

Initializing parser...
Initializing lex...
Installing keywords...
Initializing eval...
Initializing exec...
Loading startup script...
============================
DebOut = false
SymbolsOn = true
StepRegs = false
ReadMemHack = false
Attached = false
............................
dot address = 00000000
last address = 00000000
last count = 00000000
============================

Then, with the Visor in the cradle and USB connection selected, I do the debug shortcut and get the buzz and the blinking square, and also get some sign of a USB connection this time by these new lines appearing at the bottom of the debugger screen:

Welcome to the PalmOS Debugger!
Built: Dec 3 1998, 15:58:10, Target 6, Rev 3
===============================================================
EXCEPTION ID = $F4
'PrvHandleEvent'
+$062C 10C0F2AA *MOVEQ.L #$01,D0 | 7001

Then I cross my fingers and enter the command:
'save "visor.rom" 10c00000 200000'

and the debugger responds with:

$73617665 #1935767141 #1935767141 'save'

whatever that means. Nothing else happens on either the pc or the Visor screen. And no file appears in my 'Device' directory

Unfortunately, I don't have a USB connection on my laptop to try it with so I will head into the office later to try it on my machine there. Any thoughts first though?
Thanks for the help!

Are you really entering those quotes? I can't tell. Don't.

As for keeping the emulator and handheld in sync, I
can't really say. I just use it for conduit testing,
so I don't try and keep them related.

Success!
I ditched the single quotes around the command and it works fine (duh!) <:P how embarrassing. Thanks dfinberg and nashdj!!!
