[edit] Palm OS Development Suite
You need the Palm OS Development Suite (known as PODS), but it isn't available anymore at Palm site.
The same package is provided now by ACCESS. This company (that have the rights over the software) cannot use the name Palm OS, so it names Garnet OS but it's the same software.
The suite includes:
- An Eclipse based IDE with a C/C++ programming environment
- Cygwin with PRC-Tools, for compile and debug your sources through GCC
- Palm OS 5 SDK
- Palm OS Cobalt SDK (there is no commercial handheld running Cobalt, but there is a simulator)
- Palm OS Emulator
- Palm OS Simulator
- Palm OS Development Documentation
Download and install the complete suite.
