PalmOS resources:
|
 |
|
makers of PocketC; a great/rich C-compiler with IDE running on your Palm-device!
|
|
good articles on PocketC and graphics/game programming
|
|
Pose emulator to test your PalmOS applications on the PC before downloading them. (You will need to extract a ROM-image from your Palm-device or register to download one of the online images).
|
|
GCC tool that translates prc-files generated by XPad PalmOS-target to PalmOS-binaries. XPad requires at least version 2.5.

Site hosting excellent freeware assembler as31.exe, which can assemble XPad-generated assembly code into binary downloadable code-objects.
|
|
A site containing a very good tutorial on the 8051 architecture as well as downloadable code-samples!
|
|
Elaborate self-study guide about the 8051. Also links and sample code.
|
|
We linked to Mike Predko's site from the PICmicro link-section above, but he also did lots of work with 8051 MCUs. More ideas, snippets and an RTOS.
|
|
A site hosting many examples for 8051 MCUs and especially on how to use pheripherals on the the Philips 8051-compatible MCUs.

Miscellaneous:
|
 |
|
GenerExe IT Netherlands site.
|
|
"The mission of this Web site is to propagate the understanding of statecharts and active object-based computing model as powerful ways of software design rather than the use of a particular tool".
