The Psion C SDK

An application written in C must be developed on a PC and downloaded to the target machine with an appropriate serial cable. You need to use the Clarion TopSpeed C package, which supports the specific requirements of the SIBO architecture. Applications are written on the PC using either the TopSpeed environment or another program editor, such as Brief. When successfully compiled and linked, the program is transferred to and run on the target machine, normally with the aid of the SIBO debugger that is provided with the C SDK. Those parts of the software that do not depend on the user interface code (which is specific to each type of target machine) may be debugged locally on the PC. The Psion C SDK provides the information required to develop applications in the C language for Psion SIBO based products.

OPL Software Development Kit

OPL is documented in the standard HC User Guide and in the Programming Manual, available for a small charge from MOBIS. Although you can use this information to develop OPL programs on the machines themselves, for serious application development you will need the OPL Software Development Kit (SDK), which provides the detailed information required to develop professional applications for SIBO based machines. The OPL SDK contains a Computer User Reference, Workabout User Reference, HC User Reference, Series 3 User Reference,

Programming Guide, OPL Library, Technical Reference, Development Tools Reference, 0/S Systems Services, Devices Reference and Hardware Reference. The Professional version of the OPL SDK also includes a copy of the ODE Development Environment for OPL.

ODE for Windows

Object Development Environment (ODE) is an integrated OPL development environment that runs under Windows. It provides an integrated set of tools that make it easier to develop OPL applications. While ODE is suitable for developing simple applications and creating prototypes for demonstration purposes, you will need the information supplied in the full 'OPL SDK' for more serious programming. ODE provides the facilities to edit your code, translate it, check its syntax with '`Lint' and then run it on the target machine. All this can be achieved from the PC, under the PC's control, as ODE is a Windows program it features a standard Windows-style user interface, with menus, resizable windows and icons. ODE enables you to manage OPL projects, that is, OPL programs that consist of a number of files. These files may be OPL source modules, data files, picture files, etc. ODE allows you to set up a project list that contains the names of all the files associated with the current project. When a particular file in the list is changed, ODE will ensure that it gets downloaded to the target machine correctly. This makes it easier to keep files up to date and allows the developer to concentrate on the program itself.
