Re: Lock Up on Axim

I have had a problem with my axim 300 locking up. I am still trying
to find a bug in my code that might be causing it. Should any poorly
written code freeze up the ppc? I have 5 ppc's running the
application 8 hours a day, using socket communication with a desktop
and it might freeze 5 times a week. Let me know if you find something
out.

I think the problem might be the 300 MHz version of the Axim. People have
replied and said that the 400 MHz version was working fine. I'm not using
sockets, so if doubt that's it, and the lock up seems completely random
anyway. It seems like a hardware issue. I'm hoping the new OS will clear
this up, but I'm not so sure.
