This software enables the connection between Palm USB and TCP/IP sockets via a bridge.
USB-TCP Bridge is a powerful tool designed to provide seamless communication between a Palm handheld that is connected with a USB cradle and a TCP/IP socket. The software comes packed with a wide range of functionalities that make it easy to use, even for beginners.
One of the most notable uses of the software is with the GDB debugger. Typically, the debugger connects to the Palm OS Emulator on TCP/IP port 2000, but with the USB-TCP Bridge, you can easily debug your Palm handheld directly. This feature alone makes the software incredibly valuable to developers looking to test and optimize their applications on actual hardware devices.
Another use of USB-TCP Bridge is to connect Unix-based pilot-link synchronization tools to a Palm handheld on Mac OS X. By doing so, you can quickly and conveniently synchronize data between your Palm device and your computer.
What's particularly exciting about USB-TCP Bridge is the fact that the software can be redistributed with predefined settings. For example, "AvantGo USB Sync" is a repackaging of USB-TCP Bridge that comes with built-in AvantGo synchronization for Mac OS X, making it even more convenient to use.
This latest release of USB-TCP Bridge comes with an improved UI that includes predefined selections in the pop-up menu, as well as a separate field for custom TCP port editing. Additionally, the software now features a 'Connection Type' selection that determines which USB pipes will be used for reading/writing.
Other notable features of this release include the ability to execute a Unix command line upon connection, remembered preferences across sessions, and a new forced settings mechanism for distributing a locked binary with presets. Finally, the software now comes with French translation by Michel Poulain.
Overall, USB-TCP Bridge is an incredible piece of software that simplifies the process of debugging and synchronizing Palm handheld devices. It's easy to use, packed with features, and, best of all, can be redistributed with predefined settings for added convenience.
