The Console
The Palm OS console allows you to do low-level debugging of a
device, including the Palm OS Emulator. The console is a window on
your desktop computer that you can use to interrogate the device and
perform some basic operations. For example, the console allows you to
download or update databases, see the list of installed databases
(including applications), and examine the memory heaps.
To access the console with CodeWarrior, select the "Open Debug
Console" menu item in the Palm OS menu. The console display
window appears. If the Palm OS Emulator is running, you can
immediately start typing some commands right into the text field,
otherwise CodeWarrior will wait for you to place your device in debug
mode. To get a list of the applications installed on the device, use
the following command, ending the command by pressing the Enter key on
the numeric keypad, not the Enter key on the regular keyboard:
To display the alarm table, type the following command:
The Help command with no arguments lists all the commands that are
available. To get help on a specific command, pass it as an argument
to the Help command:
For more detailed information on the console commands that are
available, consult the Palm OS 3.0 Cookbook.
