Combee on Palm OS

Q: I can't connect my CodeWarrior V9.2 debugger to the Palm OS Cobalt Simulator, both Debug and Release builds. I tried the Palm OS Garnet simulator and that works fine. I executed netstat -a when the Cobalt simulator was running (Redirect NetLib to WinSock is check) but nothing was listening on port 2000. Do you have any clues?

A: Palm OS Cobalt doesn't run the 68K Debug connection service all of the time. In order to get it running, you need to launch a 68K program and enter debug mode from within that app. One application that works well is "DotDotTwo", which you can download from the PalmSource Developer Knowledgebase. The versions of PalmSim that are distributed with the Palm OS Developer Suite installer already have an application in their AutoLoad folders called "DevNub". It is "DotDotTwo on steroids" with support for both ARM and 68K debug managers, butthere is no place to download it without getting the entire Developer Suite.
