pilot-getrom(1)			  PILOT-LINK		       pilot-getrom(1)

NAME
       pilot-getrom - Retrieves the ROM image from your Palm device for use in
       debugging.

SECTION
       pilot-link: Tools

SYNOPSIS
	pilot-getrom  [-p|--port  <port>]  [--version]	[-?|--help]  [--usage]
       [-q|--quiet]  [-t|--token  token] [-s|--sysinfo] [--ram] [--rom] [file‐
       name]

DESCRIPTION
	pilot-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
       Emulator application.

       Note, because pilot-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
   pilot-getrom options
			       -t,
			       --token token

       A ROM token to read (i.e. snum)

			       -s, --sysinfo

       Print SysInfo

			       --ram

       Read RAM

			       --rom

       Read ROM

			       <filename>

       Write the ROM image to the file named by <filename>. If this  is	 omit‐
       ted,  the  filename will be written out as the rom version name as fol‐
       lows: ' pilot-$VERSION.rom  ', where an OS 3.5 image would  be  written
       as the filename of 'pilot-3.5.0.rom'.

   Conduit Options
			       -p, --port
			       <port>

       Use  device  file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this
       is not specified, pilot-getrom will look for the $PILOTPORT environment
       variable.  If  neither are found or supplied,  pilot-getrom  will print
       the usage information.

			       -q,
			       --quiet

       Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message

			       -v, --version

       Display version of pilot-getrom and exit without connecting.

       Display the help synopsis for pilot-getrom and exit without connecting.

			       --usage

       Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting.

BUGS
   Known Bugs
	pilot-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, pilot-getrom	has  no	 known
       bugs at this time.
