Can Debug4x be used for HP 39G/40G development ? Message #1 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 27 Oct 2006, 4:45 a.m. The question is already in the subject. Has anybody ever used Debug4x to create a library for the HP 39G or 40G? I've already asked this question in comp.sys.hp48 and got an answer from Jean-Yves Avenard: Quote: I do it... Even work on the 40gs ROM with Debug4x Here is my follow up: Quote: OK, Jean Yves. Can you detail the steps to follow? A few things come in my mind: (1) Get the matching emulator ROM and KML (already done) (2) Get the correct SUPROMxx.* files (either from WSR or the SDK; which is current?) (3) Get the correct include files (same question as for (2)) (4) Start a project (there is no check mark for the HP39/40 in the project window; what are the settings? I want to create a library.) (5) Compile (6) Load the lib into the emulator (I fear that does not work the same way as for the 48/49 because the machine is so different) (7) Debug I'd be glad for any pointers. You may have noticed that I want to create a communications library for the 39/40. Did you see my post "Creating SysRPL library to exchange data between 39G/40G series and 49G series?" Can provide some help? Thanks in advance. Jean-Yves replied that he does not use the Debug4x project feature. He then referred me to his pages at [link]http://etudiant.epita.fr/~avenar_j/hp/39.html[link] Here is my last post on the topic after which the thread ended: Quote: Jean-Yves, thanks for the info. I've already looked at your site and downloaded the SDK and other files. The 39G/40G emulator is up and running. >I do not use the project feature. Here comes my next question. I compiled the ApletFrame (with the makefile, under CygWin) and the compile went through without problems. I can load the Aplet into the Emulator (via a virtual serial port and Conn3x) and I can start it. What I can't do is debug the aplet with symbols. So how do I setup my environment in Debug4x? Can I compile (and load) from there? No more info on the topic since then :-( Can anybody in this community help me further? Marcus

Message #2 Posted by Tim Wessman on 27 Oct 2006, 8:40 a.m., in response to message #1 by Marcus von Cube, Germany I don't think I have ever seen anyone successfully load anything into the 39/40 emulators. There was a small utility to do that for the 38, but I haven't seen it anywhere for quite a while. TW

Message #3 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 27 Oct 2006, 9:53 a.m., in response to message #2 by Tim Wessman Loading the software isn't a problem. I use Conn3x and a pair of "virtual COM ports" which are internally linked to each other. So I can just use the normal way of downloading aplets and libraries into the emulator. My problem is how to to compile and debug the code with the Debug4x tools. Marcus
