Is there any support for Palm Pilots and MorphOS?

If yes what palm with what software and scheduler?

Thanks,

Matt

AFAIK there is no support for Palms at the moment. :(( I've read a lot in this topic, and the result was the following: SpitFire does not support pegasos' serial.device even in low speeds (donnowhy) but there is a device called usbraw.device for this things, but SF does not support it either (donnowhy).


If you want to use your Palm with your Pegasos, the only way is to use linux. Maybe sometime somebody ports these programs to MorphOS...

A PalmDesktop clone would be an ideal subject of the upcoming MorphOS Bounty program.

aminet: spitfire2 software

but doesn't support latest palm models... would need update
works fine here with palm m105 and serial dock

http://www.pilot-link.org

KDE on the Debian side has KPilot which supports installing, and some Palm OS synchs and conduits.

Sorry but we want use it with OUR main OS, not linux... And using the native, homogenous and extremely fast native MUI

With pilot-link, that supports a lot of Palm devices, we will have the main and dificult task finished, and its possible make the things by console... Make a MUI gui will be easier...

Problems? MorphOS dont support bluetooth, so bluetooth support will cant be activated until a bluetooth stack (and drivers for controllers, better if usb bt adapters) is available for MorphOS. Another thing is that will need to be adapted for use poseidon USB stack...

Yep, but it could also be ported to MorphOS

I'd be happy if I only a console-based stuff have for syncronizing my Palm (e.g. pilot-link).

Does anybody know, how hard is to port this stuff? I think, the only difference is in USB-handling.

Looked into my linux logs today to figure out what device the palm is using after a synch. The information from the palm is in both the messages and system log, but no device is specified where it's getting the strings from. I've been trying to set up kpilot to at least use SOME of the features of the palm I have with the Peg II.

Looks like I have to wait until it's ported.

Thanks guys for the great feed back.

Matt

Lets see who port it!

The bluetooth stack should be easy to get some ideas on or even take one of the open source bluetooth stacks out and port. Here is a good search that has lots of them listed: http://www.google.com/search?q=open+source+bluetooth&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

I hope we can get some Palm software working too. that would be great!

@HarryO43:

It uses /dev/ttyUSB/ttyUSB1. I think this is a kind of serial over USB emulation.

Music for my ears :)

I hope it will fully work in the near future. (PS: Could you send me these files?)

File upload works, Spitfire works (a bit flakey though, but I'd rather blame this on Spitfire).

I can't send you the files for several reasons.
a) it is beta and not for the public.
b) I haven't compiled PPC binaries yet.
c) you cannot exchange the poseidon library in the MOS-Bootimg.
d) Some internal reasons ;)

Welcome platon42. Glad to see some kind of palm support. I don't know how helpful this is, but Vapor had some kind of palm interface software that would be interesting to see what could happen with...

Everyone will come after me with guns if it ends up being a Vapor/Shareware upgrade rather than an internal one

Hi Targhan!

I was pretty surprised, but looking at www.vapor.com about AmigaNCP, it is /not/ software for Palms, but for Psion PDAs. This is something different indeed ;)

Haven't had much of a chance to fiddle with it in the past week or so, but will give it a shot! Thanks GK_LKA!
