#FreeGEOS technical documentation

#FreeGEOS comes with extensive technical documentation that describes tools, programming languages and API calls from the perspective of an SDK user. This documentation can be found in the TechDocs folder and is available in Markdown format. Its starting point is the GEOS SDK 2.0, which provides good coverage of the major architectural building blocks of the system, and includes the most comprehensive technical writing. It was originally published as a multi-volume library of physical books.

Here are some entry points to the main volumes:

• Introduction
  • Tutorial: the initial chapters describing the development environment are somewhat outdated, and still refer to the original two-machine setup for debugging, but this nevertheless gives a good idea of overall development process.
  • Concepts
  • Tools
• C development
  • GOC keywords and API calls
  • Objects Reference
  • Quick Reference
• Assembly development
  • ESP Assembly Language
  • Assembly Reference
  • Driver Development Kit
• Third Party software: this could become a place in the future to document add-on software in this repository that was developed by people/companies other than Geoworks (e.g. Breadbox, New Deal)
• Device Specifics: developer information about various “historic” PDAs and smartphones that were shipped with GEOS.
  • Casio Z-7000 (“Zoomer”)
  • Nokia 9000/9110 Communicator
• Original credits of the GEOS Software Development Kit Library 2.0
