CUnit on ARM platforms.

Let's use this stuff :P Anyway, it's a good tool and I need to put some ideas anywhere.

So, today's tip is how to compile your CUnit tests on Embedded platforms - in this case, on a N900 (ARM) with MeeGo installed on it.

You should download the CUnit source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cunit/ (I only tested versions 2.0.X and 2.1.X). The process is very simple: download the code, copy to your development environment, and build it (./bootstrap && make). However, things are not soooo easy as it seems :P

Probably, you'll face problems at initial steps.

If you have any problems on , execute the following command to change modification time/time:

find /path/to/files -exec touch {} \;

It seems to work.

Give us your opinion!

IDE Integration 2nd edition is comming soon, including new PluThon Eclipse product. It comes with new and interesting features, such as ltrace integration. However, we know that Maemo community has a lot of valuable feedback and ideas that certainly improves PluThon and any other IDE Integration components (ESbox, PC Connectivity, etc.)

Please, visit PluThon 2nd edition web site, check how features you´d see implemented on PluThon and provide a feedback to eclipse-integration AT maemo DOT org. Your comments are welcomed!

Pluthon - how to easily create debian packages

Hi,

IDE Integration Beta 2 has been released, including Pluthon Beta 2 release :)

Since PluThon uses Internet Tablet environment as programming environment, most of programming tasks (except coding) are performed on your device. Then, launching/debugging are done directly on Internet Tablet.

Generally, we use distutils utilities for pymaemo to generate Debian packages on device. On this method, you need to create a setup.py script and insert a lot of information regarding to your project. You may face some problem during your first experience on debian package creation or even you may forget to insert some important information. Once your setup.py is properly created, you need to generate your debian package using pymaemo python interpreter.

PluThon also helps you to create Debian package from your project with distutils for maemo utilities. With helpfull graphical wizards, you can create Debian packages from your projects at a glance ;) For more information about this interesting feature, you can check it at PluThon User´s Help.

Try PluThon and give us your feedback!!

The easiest way to install Maemo SDK environment

ESbox Beta 1 release comes with a very interesting feature: graphical installers for Scratchbox 1, Scratchbox (1 and 2) targets and Nokia binaries (which are mandatory for Fremantle, for example). ESbox also flashes your Internet Tablet with latest image.

For more information about these features, you can visit Forum Nokia Blog page.

Customizing your Maemo SDK Virtual Image

Hi,

Maemo Eclipse Integration 2nd Edition Beta 1 was just released, including Maemo SDK Virtual Image :)

On a recent post on Forum Nokia blog, I described about how Maemo SDK VM can help you to properly configure your Maemo programming environment, specially on those cases that you have to configure a lot of machines for a Maemo programming workshop, for example.

In addition, if you want to customize your Maemo SDK VM for a specific case (for example, distribute an old Maemo SDK release), you can check here the requirements list we've considered to provide Maemo SDK VM version 0.10.

Promoting competence on Nokia mobile platforms

Embedded Lab has launched the 2nd edition of Effort Competition (website on portuguese), an interesting challenge for undergraduate and graduate students. The main objective is to make that students explore Nokia mobile platforms (maemo, S60, ...) to generate interesting and innovative projects.

The winners will receive Nokia 7310 Supernova devices as prize :) Unfortunately, Effort Competition 2nd edition subscriptions are over, but keep on eye on it - 3rd edition is coming!
