EmbedOne Linux was primarily intended for devices that are much less powerful then industrial computers. It could be possible, but the kernel and the libraries included could be lacking the required functionality for many applications. Maybe you want to use only emid with your existing linux? </p> <p>Q: can I build my on EmbedOne linux? I need to add some missing packages<br /> A: Eventually yes. EmbedOne builder framework will be the service that allows to do that. Currently we are migrating our own development to use it. As soon as we will successfully start using it, we will make the service available. And we will eventually add support for x86 target architecture. </p> <p>Q: do you have any schedule for improving emi authentication?<br /> A: The decision about how to do the authentication on standard linux will be taken in the beginning of next week. </p> <p>Q: what are your plans about encrypted emi-rpc management sessions?<br /> A: One of the features that we have to support one day ASAP. </p> <p>Q:do you have some instructions for EMI module developers?<br /> A: The instructions on module development will be gradually published under the documentation section. The first document should be published in the nearest future. </p> <p>Q:can i expand emi to manage applications; for example, i need to use special software used to measure the temperature (i guess this could be emi.stat module) and control cooling system in one of my projects (i can't do this with emi conf since the configuration is not static)?<br /> A1: yes, emi framework is created to be extensible. The documentation about the module design will start appearing ASAP.<br /> A2: By "not static" you mean that you need to have some sort of PID controller were the actually control is done by changing some parameters (i.e. thresholds etc.)? There are three possibilities for the emi framework:<br /> - to fit the control application to the conf module functionality<br /> - to use util module that is somewhat a free form module<br /> - to implement new type of emid module<br /> Options 2&amp;3 are currently not very well supported by the web-gui and may require some customization. </p> <p>I hope, you will find the answers helpful :). One general comment about the time-frame. Any time estimates for the new features are subject to change, as we also provide professional support to our customers (including on-site support, training, and development of customized solutions). Understandably, their requests do have the priority, and it may impose delays on the good-to-have features.</p> <p>In general, it is good to post all the feature requests to the "feature request" section of the forum. Even if the ticket is already present in the developers zone for given feature it may affect the priority for the feature implementation. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=19#post-37 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:55:49 +0000 Vladimir Moltchanov 37@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Eventually, there will be a builder framework (EmbedOne Builder) that will allow to build separate modules as well as complete images. We are currently migrating our own processes to use this framework. But it will take a bit of in-house testing, since we want to provide only quality service.</p> <p>One of the corner stones of this framework is a new concept: "cross-development as a service". We are preparing a publication about this concept. But, in practical terms, a builder service will do the building (it will have all the environment(s)). User will only have to have an EmbedOne Builder Client software do use the service. Within the client it will be possible to specify all the packages that needed to be included in the build. Since we are going to use the same framework, all what we can build will be possible to build with the client. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=20#post-36 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 06:46:40 +0000 zachar 36@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>I have found EMI being a great framework.

Your comments are very valuable because they help us to target more critical areas for the development work, especially, when there are some real use-cases. </p> <p>Yes you are right about the authentication. One of the prime targets for the emid are the solutions that run on the embedded systems. The authentication for these systems is relatively straight forward and may rely on the existing user information in passwd file or similar. However, on the standard linux PC (or laptop) authentication may be done in different ways such as fingerprint scanning etc. For that reason we are still deciding what would be a good approach to handle it on PC. </p> <p>Emid framework is designed to work with any linux. The modules, however, are the glue between the actual operating system components and the emid. And the modules could be hardware/os dependent. Hopefully, when the community around emid will grow and become active, the inflow of 3rd party modules will cover more and more of the linux distributions. However, we will make sure that emid itself is compatible with as many distribution as possible. </p> <p>If you have any particular error you are interested to know about, you could use the bug reporting functionality of the web-client. It will send to us your message and the information about the current status of the system (configuration,diff and statistics). Alternatively, you could specify the key that you are trying to set and the error here. The web-client is in a prototype and its error reporting is one part that was not really covered. </p> <p>Method reference will be published relatively soon. There is already a place holder on the documentation pages, but nothing there yet. Is there any particular method you are interested in or are you planning to do your own client? In later case its good to notice that EMI-RPC is encapsulated in JSONP and sent over HTTP. Soon we will have a blog entry about using the JSONP approach. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=17#post-30 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 08:38:30 +0000 marko 30@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>To speed up repository access, we're doing some maintenance operations. The repository is now running on SVN for EmbedOne projects and the mirror of packages is currently offline - it will be available later during the day on a new location. </p> <p>I hope this change improves the slow access speeds some of you have been experiencing. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=15#post-29 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 08:07:05 +0000 zachar 29@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>Hello! I did some testing with emid last night with the instructions you gave me. I was able to figure out that when I use web client I can actually use any username and password (no authentication at all?). Is this the way it should be working? </p> <p>I was also able to change the hostname by setting the key hostname.hostname as you suggested. However, once I tried using some other keys mentioned in the documentation, i got errors. I assume emid is designed to work with your linux only (by looking at the source code of modules coming together with the source code package). If so, do you plan to make support for other linux distributions as well?</p> <p>I was reading the source code of emi web client and find out that you have plenty of JSON-RPC type methods supported. However, i can't find any documentation from your website about those. Do you have some kind of documentation available for all the supported methods and parameters?</p> <p>I found emid very cool framework, but i think you need to make it work so that it can be also used in other linux distributions. I am willing to help you with testing and giving feedback also in the future. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=16#post-28 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:28:26 +0000 ush 28@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>Hi.</p> <p>It's all like everywhere.

Example of usage: (<a href="http://devel.embedone.com/browser/linux/base-files/files/etc/init.d/rcS)" rel="nofollow">http://devel.embedone.com/browser/linux/base-files/files/etc/init.d/rcS)</a>.</p> <p>When emid is compiled and launched on the PC there is no default configuration, so on connecting the web client you will see the empty configuration list. You could try to see if emid is working properly by setting the hostname (key: hostname.hostname) for the system through the interface. (refer to the EMI.CONF keys reference for other available keys). </p> <p>NOTE: root privileges are required to commit these changes. </p> <p>In the nearest future we are planning to publish the document that will describe the overall system. But do you have a particular usage in mind? Since general documentation may not cover all the capabilities of the emid, we can answer particular questions in much more detail in here. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=15#post-24 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 08:25:25 +0000 Vladimir Moltchanov 24@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>There are 3 ways to access the emid currently: </p> <p>1) Using web-client (online)<br /> 2)Using web-client (locally)<br /> 3)Using emic command line utility on board.

EB (EmbedOne Builder) is a new concept for cross development as service. As you might see from our downloads section, currently you can already download the client for this service; however, the service itself is not opened for public yet since we are juggling with the new public source code repository issues. Hopefully, we will sort out these issues soon and are able to open this service for all of you in the near future.</p> <p>Also, we are looking for adding support for new platforms. In here, we are hoping to get some ideas from the EmbedOne community. </p> <p>And finally, we try to create a library for EMI-RPC so that developers can create more sophisticated applications (like EMI Web Client) - more easily. The possibilities in here are quite amazing; someone might create a gadgets which are working directly with iGoogle, Google Maps, Orkut etc. </p> <p>So, we are not done yet.

EMI framework in general consists of the following parts:<br /> 1)emid (daemon)<br /> 2)emid modules<br /> 3)emi clients</p> <p>Daemon is a service that binds together information/control from different EMI modules, responds to requests from clients, and performs session management. </p> <p>Modules are linking host system to the daemon by registering via defined interfaces. EMI modules can implement different control, data mining, etc, functionality. </p> <p>Finally emid have to be accessed via the EMI-RPC protocol by the client software to actually control or query the device. </p> <p>Currently the available documentation covers:<br /> - the client-side development (namely, the protocols that client should comply to in order to successfully communicate with the emid instance)<br /> - the configuration keys for the existing configuration modules<br /> - the prototype web client that we have developed in EmbedOne to demonstrate the capabilities of EMI framework. </p> <p>If you are interested in the inner-workings of the emid itself, or about the module's API, or other parts of the framework, please let us know and we will speed up the release of the related documentation. </p> http://embedone.com/forums/topic.php?id=14#post-18 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:30:12 +0000 wifimike 18@http://embedone.com/forums/ <p>Hello!
