The Metrowerks tools have been updated and the linker now has the ability to output a debug symbols file that can be used with the Palm OS debugger (POD) to allow debugging on devices using an enhanced debugger nub provided with the tool.
Additional enhancements allow developers to choose either ARM technology or the Thumb architecture extension as the main instruction set letting developers trade application performance for code size.
"Metrowerks has played an integral role in the growth of the Palm OS software developer community, setting the standard for developer tools since the first Palm OS device launched in 1996", said Larry Berkin, Director of Developer Marketing for PalmSource.
"Today the release of CodeWarrior 9.2 gives the more than 260,000 registered Palm OS developers the essential tools needed to create innovative and powerful applications that take advantage of the increased power and usability of the ARM-based processors".
Version 9.2 also adds software development kit (SDK) support for Palm OS 5.2 using the newest Palm OS 5.0 SDK R2 engineered to provide support for Palm Solutions Group devices with five-way navigation support, the Palm Tungsten simulator, and SDK support for the Handspring Treo 300.
It is engineered to help support other Palm Powered OS 5 devices as nubs are added.
The update also includes the CodeWarrior integrated development environment (IDE) 5.2 with improved code completion and build performance.
CodeWarrior Development Studio for Palm OS Platform, Version 9.2, is expected to be available to existing customers as a web update at the end of May 2003.
