About this document
Palm OS Architecture Overview by Lalitha Lalli is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document provides an overview of the Palm OS architecture, including its memory structure and management. The Palm OS uses a 32-bit architecture and divides memory into cards that can contain both RAM and ROM. RAM is used for applications and user data while ROM stores the operating system. Memory is managed using heaps that allocate movable chunks (accessed via handles) and fixed chunks (accessed via pointers). The memory manager works to optimize memory usage and prevent fragmentation.
