PalmSDK-Win-0.3.4 tested on GNU/Linux : howto

www.rzr.online.fr — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:31:27 +0200

Despite only the windows version as been leaked (as far as I know), it can be also tested GNU/Linux too.

The SDK consists of a diskimage, some java programs and bunch of bat files...

Here is the procedure to boot the Palm pré on a debian system :

Using virtualbox-ose

export PalmSDK=/usr/local/opt/PalmSDK-Win-0.3.4
export MACHINE_NAME=PalmSDK
sudo aptitude install virtualbox
virtualbox 
# create new linux machine
# HDD=${PalmSDK}/share/emulator/images/sdk47nova-cust-image-sdk47.vmdk
# CDROM=${PalmSDK}/share/emulator/images/sdk47/grub.iso
VBoxManage setextradata "${MACHINE_NAME}" "CustomVideoMode" "320x480x32" 
# then start machine

Or using
kvm/qemu (wrong resolution but works) :

export PalmSDK=/usr/local/opt/PalmSDK-Win-0.3.4
sudo aptitude install kvm
cd ${PalmSDK}/share/emulator/images/
kvm -cdrom grub.iso nova-cust-image-sdk47.vmdk -boot d -vga std -snapshot -m 256   -show-cursor

# grub prompt: return
# linux prompt: return ; 341
# will print error about "PmCertificateMgrService" but can be ignored for now

Finally the ".bat files" can be easily translated to posix shell or run with wine, but more investigation is needed on how to deploy apps ( Default palm-install: Connection refused ).

Palm Developer Network Blog has recently stated that the official Mojo SDK would be delayed to at least end of summer. Some effort would however be put on the early access program for those who really want to access it as soon as possible.
