ServerXR Development Kit

Introduction

Development in the ServerXR is almost impossible, device is too slow for compiling (it can compile but it just takes too long). So we created a VMware Appliance for this, and it's offered to customers who wants it, contact sales@aircable.net for more information.

This virtual appliance is a basic Kwort 2.4 installation, plus all the software we packaged and developed for the ServerXR. Including some extra packages we developed that are available at our repository.

Starting

For using this virtual appliance you will need the vmware player (included in other payed products from vmware like workstation), you can get the player from www.vmware.com

Once you downloaded the player, install it and launch the player. Then you can start the virtual appliance by opening

After the virtual machine has booted you will be provided with the login prompt, you can login with:
User Name: root
Password: aircable

Included stuff

Packaging toolchain

Inside /root/build you can find a hole copy of our development branch which is available at: http://www.kienhoefer.com/kwort/devel/build/

As the image we provided you might be outdated you should firstly try to update it. We're using bazaar for development (might change in the future to git).

Get into /root/build and run bzr update. That will update your branch with every available update we have.

Each folder inside /root/build is a package, you will find lots of files ending in .kwortbuild (or .KwortBuild), this files when executed via bash will compile the code and package it.


OpenProximity development

All the needed bluetooth tools, libraries, etc. available from BlueZ had been included, along with openobex, obex-data-server and OpenProximity has been included, so you can start developing for OpenProximity.

Future

The development kit is a work in progress, we expect to release new versions often, so if you have any suggestions please do contact us at info@aircable.net.
