Resizing ROM and Java

[cinderella]

Hi,

great stuff. Rc5 rocks, absolutely.

I just have a few (stupid?) questions:

1) Is it possible to use Mac OS X as a development system for RC5?

2) Is there a place where somebody explains the memory layout of pdaxrom? Which part of what memory is used for what?

3) (related to 2+1) I would like to include the blackdown Java 1.3.1 on my machine, and I would like to have it in internal memory (as I do not want to repartition my SD card to ext2). It does not seem to fit -- so what's the easiest way to change what is included in flash memory?

Thanks for any help,

Ulli

Yes, certainly. Big issue: you need to have a Mac to be able to build it. Most people here use x86 PC.
If you have spare time and want add your own brick to the building... it could be a good idea to work with other zaurususergroup Mac users to bring a developpement system for Mac OS X.

2) Is there a place where somebody explains the memory layout of pdaxrom? Which part of what memory is used for what?

Have a look into /proc and into linux kernel documentation. But you won't need this if you want to build programs. Memory map is mainly interesting for device drivers. Perhaps you wanted to speek about available libraries to be able to link with them? If so then you will need to search on the net things like www.gtk.org or doc.trolltech.com or www.fltk.org or www.gnu.org...

3) (related to 2+1) I would like to include the blackdown Java 1.3.1 on my machine, and I would like to have it in internal memory (as I do not want to repartition my SD card to ext2). It does not seem to fit -- so what's the easiest way to change what is included in flash memory?

Search for gcc Native SDK for pdaXrom and you will find what you could do for complete java on FAT cf.

OK, fine. If anybody is interested, just tell me, and let's see how far we get.
