iRex Releases DR1000 SDK and source code
iRex has released an SDK and source code for the iRex DR1000.

You can find this here.

The SDK is based on Poky, so I have some research to do. iRex also promises to release further documentation.

I'm sure developers will be busy working on discovering the internals and the many possibilities of this new development platform.

I look forward to the results not having a clue about programming any more. (gave up 20 yrs ago after machine code on intel 8080 & z80 at University).

I do hope that several of the iliad programmes can be ported across though.

If you programmed Assembly Language it is no problem to settle for C.

AND the source code? Does this really mean we already get the source for the new all-in-on viewer application?

It doesn't appear so. The binary is called "uds". I don't see anything like that in the sources.

The ctb package is the new content browser....

It's probably just the GPL code, which is what they had release for the iLiad as well up until recently. The in-house iRex proprietary stuff will probably stay closed.

I expected so, well I think its about us to show what we can do with the iLiad when having full sources, so in a middletimed future they are inclined to do that as well. Maybe, maybe not. maybe the finance crisis will eat us all up until then eitherway Or the LHC explodes earth...

Looking through the sources, I'm not seeing any refresh calls... I wonder if iRex has figured out a way to automatically refresh the screen without having to manually call it.

Hint: take a look at our GTK+ patches. Happy coding!

P.S. The document viewer (uds) will remain closed source.The API for plugins is fully open however and all current plugins except Mobipocket are GPL'ed as well. So adding more document formats or improving current plugins is very well possible.

Ok, so for example instead of using evince as djvu reader it should be possible to cripple it a bit to be just a plugin and make it compatible with uds API, right? Where is the documentation for the API?


:-) Funny, I almost have feeling like in early days of Amiga, the same "uncharted territory" (almost), only the days are now somehow shorter.

Cheers,

In the interface files ofcourse .
Serious, there is a lot of documentation in the header files and there is the implementation of the interface for plaintext, pdf and images. No tutorial or manual, but with some puzzling and experimenting it should be possible to make your own plug-in, although I have never tried ...
Good luck, if you have a go at it, please make a 'tutorial' as you go, so others can also benefit?

Thank you for the answer. I'll start from something simple, if I succeed, sure I will share my experience with others.

Cheers.
