Application Development Kit (Version 5.0)

VOS3 Development helper

Reboot

As regular users do not have the capabilities to reboot the device, this command allows to reboot manually as a helper:

vfidev reboot

Devhome: shorter development cycle

During development of applications, frequent packaging and installations may slow down the development cycle. For this purpose, the "devhome" feature is available: this will create a writable flash filesystem (instead of a read-only flash filesystem) for the home of the usrX. Developer can then directly update files, executables and libraries in this "devhome" without installation and reboots.

This ease of use comes with the following constaints:

• developers can update shared object libraries only in the limit that ldconfig is not needed to update symlinks and caches. In that event, make one installation and pursue with devhome.

The following command will enable the devhome for current user:

vfidev devhome enable

Similarly, disabling is done with:

vfidev devhome disable

To check devhome status:

vfidev devhome status
