pi-getrom(1) Conduits pi-getrom(1)NAMEpi-getrom - Retrieves the ROM image from your Palm device for use in
debugging.
SYNOPSISpi-getrom [-p <port>] [filename]
DESCRIPTIONpi-getrom is used to fetch the ROM from your Palm handheld for use in
debugging Palm applications through the use of POSE, the Palm OS Emula‐
tor application.
Note, because pi-getrom uses the low-level RPC protocol to fetch the
ROM image, and the new OS5 devices do not use this protocol, you cur‐
rently cannot fetch an OS5 ROM image using this utility. This will be
updated in a future release to handle fetching OS5 ROM images, using
the debugger protocol.
OPTIONS-p, --port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If
this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environment
variable. If both are not found or supplied, install-expenses
will fall back to /dev/pilot.
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for pi-getrom.
-v, --version
Display version of pi-getrom.
<filename>
Write the ROM image to the file named by <filename>. If this is
omitted, the filename will be written out as the rom version
name as follows: 'pilot-$VERSION.rom', where an OS 3.5 image
would be written as the filename of 'pilot-3.5.0.rom'.
USAGE
Connect to a target Palm handheld and fetch the ROM for use in debug‐
ging Palm applications through the use of POSE, the Palm OS Emulator or
with the CoPilot application (deprecated).

BUGS
KNOWN BUGS
pi-getrom does not work with OS5 devices as yet, due to changes
in the architecture and design of the Palm HotSync protocol and
file type changes from m68k to ARM. Other than that, pi-getrom
has no known bugs at this time.
