Greetings,

I had installed maemo 3.1 SDK and just upgraded it to 3.2 and everything seems to run just fine. However, when I browse the application folders there is only the Maemopad in Extras. Also in Tools there is the Control Panel.

Apart from that, shouldn't there be more applications preinstalled? Such as Application Manager or Contacts Manager? And if not, how do I get them?

And my second matter of concern is related to the Bluetooth capabilities of the SDK. Is it actually possible to initiate communication from within the Linux workstation, as unfortunately I am not a proud owner of a device? I thought of implementing a simple BT application only using my laptop and a BT stick.

Thank you for your time. Any contribution the to that topic would be appreciated!

Regards,
Todor

There should not. It is a development environment, not a user environment. You can install whatever userland applications you need via apt-get. However: the environment is not a hardware simulator - only the cpu is emulated via qemu. This means that not all functions are available in the sbox environment - dsp or xsp pixel doubling for example.

I don't know. Recommend you buy a Nokia tablet.

Thank you for your response to my newbie questions!

Regarding BT, it is possible to use i.e. hcitool from within osso-xterm and it actually worked on the go with my BT-usb :)

Thanks for the advice, I believe you're right.

Hi,

I am also considering installation of SDK to play with bt scanning, pairing of gps devices.
Please tell me how complicated is to start up with basic bt tools/libraries ?

Thanks.
