The ereader patch for the xlibs does some strange things (like shutting down all filedescriptors from 1 to 1024 regardless of what they mean) and somehow the signal handling seems to get in conflict with that of the VM itself.
I therefore wrote a separate application which does the eripc stuff and can be triggered through a very simple Unix domain socket connection. A client for this application just need to send a 1 or something else and thats all. No select(), no fork(), nothing.
You can find the application (source code, of course) here
http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~rschust...s-1.3.1.tar.gz
If you like it simpler. Just add
http://jalimo.org/iliad/jalimo to your /etc/ipkg.conf and add "arch jalimo 26" to the /etc/ipkg/arch.conf . Then do ipkg update and ipkg install er-refresh-tools. Documentation for the app is lacking atm but there is very little time for fixing usability. The sourcecode is released under GNU GPL v2 or later and is included in the jalimo SVN repository
http://evolvis.org/projects/jalimo/ .
This project also maintains a full OpenEmbedded-based development environment allowing each and everyone to compile applications for the Iliad in a clean and reproducible way.
The project is currently mostly company sponsored. Everything is free software/open-source and you are completely free to use what we provide in any way you like*.
Contributions are welcome!
*That is what free software is all about.
