Backup Axim ROM

[chatlumo]

Hi,

How can i backup my Axim ROM ?

Thanks.

You can't openly read the ROM or copy it. Since it's MS code, I'm sure they've taken steps to insure that you can't do anything besides execute it.
You should never need to refresh it, since being read-only, it can't be corrupted. If your ROM fails, you get a new unit.

Before my Axim, i had an iPaq 3630 where i could copy/restore my ROM.

So, it's more easy to develop programs if i can have my own Dell Axim ROM.

I wouldn't know anything about modifying the OS, other than the occasional reg tweak, but for the average user, the ROM is not meant to be accessable.
The SDK for ppc02 has an emulater for testing, but I havn't touched it yet.
