iRex Releases DR1000 SDK and source code

Adam B. · 10-23-2008, 02:03 PM

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.

Bravo for iRex!

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....

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.

Perhaps they read this forum, too

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.

Well thats the idea of them Opening the Source. I for one don't mind they embrace ideas from here in this deal.

Adam B. · 10-23-2008, 05:57 PM

I'm sure they've been working on the device a lot longer than the xepdmanager has been out.

Besides, from what I can tell, it's a similar idea but a different implementation.

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...

I am almost sure that I've read in a post that Irex will be open sourcing the whole thing. I guess it was a response from the irex team.(fingers crossed)

This could be the first post in a DR1000 Developer's Corner...

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.

We're also looking at releasing our Poky environment (e.g. our changes to Poky as published by OpenedHand).
