About the eLux SDK VM The eLux SDK VM is a virtual machine equipped with Software Development Kit tools for eLux RP 6 (64-bit) that we provide upon request. The Linux system comes as a VMware image and runs on all VMware Server versions. We provide a version of our eLux SDK VM which corresponds to the latest eLux version.1 Version Description Deployment eLux SDK VM 3.9 contains the eLux Builder Kit as an .ova template for eLux RP 6 (64-bit) In your VMware environment, use the Deploy OVF Template option to install the machine from the template. epkg for eLux SDK Command line tool for creating Install the epkg packages on an Ubuntu VM 3.9 eLux RP 6 packages system. The eLux-Builder-Kit is a development environment that allows skilled Linux developers or admin- istrators to package any software as .epm and .fpm files. You can also compile your own source code and/or kernel drivers. You can include any packages built with the eLux Builder Kit in an eLux image definition file (.idf) by using ELIAS. Alternatively, use our epkg tool to build eLux packages from the command line. You can also automate the process of building packages by using epkg. Using the eLux SDK requires knowledge of Network and communication hardware Administration of Linux operating systems Administration of eLux ELIAS features Logon The following system accounts are available: root – elux elux – elux The home directory of the user elux is /home/elux. Log on with user elux, either in the VMware console or remote via ssh. 1For example, eLux SDK VM 3.9 relates to eLux RP 62103 and 2104 4 1. About the eLux SDK VM Note Alternatively, click Applications > Internet > X11VNC Server after you have logged on to the VMware console and use a VNCviewer to connect. The machine is configured to use DHCP by default. Creating eLux packages When the system starts, the Mate Desktop is started automatically and you are logged in as user elux. Use the eLux Builder Kit. A good way to become familiar with the program is to build the pack- ages of the example workspace. For further information, see Example package. Alternatively, the command line tool epkg is provided. For further information, see The epkg tool. Windows Shared Folder (Samba) The samba4 server package is installed on the image but not yet configured. To configure the samba server, see https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html or use the command man smb.conf to read the official smb.conf manual. 1.1. Kernel development The kernel is patched and pre-configured. The compiled kernel modules can be found as Debian pack- ages under /usr/src/. For eLux RP 6, only the 64-bit version is supported. 1.2. System packages The eLux RP 6 system is based on Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial". All packages modified or backported by Unicon are included in this image. Any additional package can be obtained with the usual Debian way ((apt-get oder aptitude). 5 1.3. Command line tool – only for SDK VM 3.x – epkg is a command line tool for building eLux packages which can also be used to automate the build- ing process. In our example workspace, under /home/elux/workspace/examples/build, you will find the build.sh script that you can use to build the example package. Converting packages During the build process, epkg sets up an eLux Builder Kit workspace. It allows you to easily edit the package meta data. To enable epkg to use the eLux Builder Kit, you need to convert the package tree. You can do so using epkg. For an example, see the convert folder and script: /home/elux/workspace/examples/convert/convert.sh After you have built the example package, the created workspace can be found under /home/elux/workspace/examples/build/tcpdump/output/.ebkworkspace. For ease of use, this workspace is also included in the recently used list of the File menu. You can now edit the meta data for the packages in the eLux Builder Kit, and then start the final build pro- cess. The final package files (.epm, .fpm) can be found in the output directory: /home/elux/workspace/examples/build/output/container/UC_RP6-1.0-1/ epkg also offers the option to install packages. They are copied from the output directory to a defined container directory (example: /home/containers). The file /usr/share/epkg/settings.ini holds the configuration for installing and signing pack- ages. For further information, see The epkg tool. 6 1. About the eLux SDK VM 1.4. Example packages For the eLux Builder Kit, we have included an example workspace that provides an EPM with FPMs: eLux debug: /home/elux/examples/packaging/debug/output/devel1 SDK The workspace contains examples for creating eLux packages from development tools such VM as gdb, file, strace, ltrace, valgrin, less, coredump, tcpdump, 3.9 vim, libpython, systemd-debug-shell, eluxbuild Building example packages 1. Open the example workspace (.ebkworkspace) of the specified directory. To do so, you can use the Recently used entry of the File menu. 2. Select the top level (the EPM). 3. Click the Build button. All packages of the workspace are built. The resulting package files (.epm, .fpm) can be found in the output directory: eLux SDK VM /home/elux/examples/packaging/devel/output/container/UC_ 3.9 RP6_X64-1.0-1/ Building a kernel module – for eLux SDK VM 3.5 and later versions– Under /home/elux/examples/compiling/kernel_module/, you will find a make file. Use the make command to build a kernel module which you can load into eLux. Important The kernel module stands in dependence to the kernel of the eLux version. For example, a ker- nel module built with the eLux SDK VM 3.5 will only work with eLux RP 6.7. 1from eLux SDK VM 3.6 7 2. Starting eLux Builder Kit 1. On the desktop, double-click the application icon of the eLux Builder Kit (EBKGUI), or at the com- mand prompt, enter ebkgui. 2. To sign your packages, edit the certificate settings as required. For further information, see eLux Builder Kit preferences. 3. Open an existing or create a new workspace. The eLux Builder Kit main window is displayed. Familiarize yourself with the interface (see main window) and try out the example. To start your own project, create a new workspace. Then define your packages, edit the package properties and the build settings, before you start the build process. 8 3. eLux Builder Kit interface 3. eLux Builder Kit interface 3.1.

The motivation for H the research arises from problems detected in the remote 1 4 2 interaction with embedded devices over dynamic wireless networks in such systems. The selected approach is based on the application of the small- world paradigm to cyber-physical systems. It is here assumed that the concept of small world, "six degrees of separation", can be expanded to also cover communication with wireless embedded devices in cyber-physical systems context. The main contributions are the technical enablers referred to as dynamic communication spaces, dynamic M2M service spaces, configuration and remote use of services, communication overlay, access systems selection, integrated mobility, secure ad hoc networking, situated opportunistic communication, hierarchical networking for small-world networks, and short-cuts for network optimization. The enablers have been evaluated as separate technical methods and means by means of experiments and/or simulations. According to the evaluations, the enablers seem to work well as separate building blocks and that they can be combined to expand the concept of small world to also cover communication with embedded devices. Wireless short-cuts can improve the scalability and efficiency of dynamic wireless networking and weak links are essential in the neighbour discovery process.

  • Linphone a Good Working Skype Voice Over IP Alternative
    Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog Linphone a good working Skype voice over IP alternative Author : admin If you never tried linphone I warmly recommend it. 2 days ago, with a friend of mine we tested a bunch of Linux softwares to find out what is the situation with possible alternatives to Skype to transmit Voice and Video. I've been interested into Skype Alternative programs since about 2 years, but so far I never found good and easy to set up working Linux alternative. We first tried Ekiga. Though it is said to be a good Linux SKype alternative, my ekiga client running on Debian Linux stable Squeeze ver. 3.2.7.2 failed to connect to SIP account I've created on ekiga.net. I've tried hard to make ekiga connect to account SIP created from ekiga.net but all time I was getting an error on connect: Ekiga did not manage to configure your network settings automatically. You can still use it, but you need to configure your network settings manually. Please see http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Enable_port_forwarding_manually for instructions After continously trying to follow instructions from above pointed URL and making proper settings on my DL-524 Wireless Router and all time ending up with the annoying error, we decided to finally completely abondoned it and try some other voice over IP clients. We tried Jitsi and few others which prooved to be unworking.
