 Falsely accused, sysfs does hard time. I am building a track record of choosing projects that somehow flex the limits of what is easily doable on the Palm Pre. First I wanted to use the Palm Pre as a mass storage device on my Xbox 360. The unraveling of that rabbit-hole took a full month. Now I want to be able to create and mount regular files as USB devices on the Palm Pre (an app I’m calling USB Mass Storage Tool). This time I am hitting a technical limitation imposed by Palm. The current limitation is that sysfs is not available for applications to read/write from within the jailed environment in which apps run. |
