pi-getrom
SYNOPSIS
pi-getrom [-p <port>] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
pi-getrom is used to fetch the ROM from your Palm handheld
for use in debugging Palm applications through the use of
POSE, the Palm OS Emulator application.
Note, because pi-getrom uses the low-level RPC protocol to
fetch the ROM image, and the new OS5 devices do not use
this protocol, you currently cannot fetch an OS5 ROM image
using this utility. This will be updated in a future
release to handle fetching OS5 ROM images, using the
debugger protocol.
OPTIONS
-p, --port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm
handheld. If this is not specified, will look for
the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If both are
not found or supplied, install-expenses will fall
back to /dev/pilot.
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for pi-getrom.
-v, --version
Display version of pi-getrom.
<filename>
Write the ROM image to the file named by <file
name>. If this is omitted, the filename will be
written out as the rom version name as follows:
'pilot-$VERSION.rom', where an OS 3.5 image would
be written as the filename of 'pilot-3.5.0.rom'.
USAGE
license agreement with Palmsource, Inc. or other OEM part
ners. Please read your Palm documentation (specifically
the "Software License Agreement") before running this pro
gram.
BUGS
KNOWN BUGS
pi-getrom does not work with OS5 devices as yet,
due to changes in the architecture and design of
the Palm HotSync protocol and file type changes
from m68k to ARM. Other than that, pi-getrom has no
known bugs at this time.
