[Icon-tech] finding documentation on developing programs for the braille plus

[Ken Perry]

First there is no need to use Gcc because the applications are developed in Python.  A good place to go for information of creating your own application is:

http://tech.aph.org/mm/wiki/Development

I have been thinking of doing a tutorial series here on this email list if people are interested.  So if there are a couple of interested developers out there with ideas please email them to me so we can see if there is a need and maybe we can create a class specifically geared at getting you started with your projects.

Thanks,

Ken

Hi, well how is it currently done is there any samples as like I said on the user site no examples and I can't find anything on the internet as well as no documentation on compiling programs with gcc for the arm processer.

I could be wrong, I should have said, at some point I do hear claim of work being done on an sdk, nothing says it'll be when the next version of the software comes out.

When the next version of the software comes out, apparently there'll be a start of an sdk available to go with it.

Hi, Looking on the user site for the icon and braille plus I don't see any
documentation or developers kit for making packages or doing any type of
development like compiling programs from source for the icon or braille
plus.  I also use debian linux on my desktop so am an advanced linux user.
Also are there any directions on bridging the usb network connection in
linux like there are in windows?  I would have thought that as the icon and
braille plus are based on linux directions would be provided for both
operating systems for those of us who use them.  Also, after installing a
package like any of the games or what else you choose to install is it
always required to reboot in order to make the application work?
