Eclipse integration/Known issues beta2

Known Issues for Maemo Eclipse Integration Edition 2 Beta 1 release

More detailed known issues lists can be found from Garage projects for each product https://garage.maemo.org/.

Product baselines

• Fremantle SDK is supported as separate installation e.g. not delivered as default environment with Desktop image, for example.
• Fremantle devices are not officially supported as devices do not exist yet but first unofficial Fremantle packages are available from Fremantle extras-devel repository
• Ubuntu Desktop based Maemo SDK Virtual Image (out-of-the-box ready development environment) will not be created for the Beta 2 release but users of old Beta 1 Desktop image are able to upgrade environment to Beta 2 level with these instructions: http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/update_maemo_vm.html

Notice that updating process from Eclipse Update Site (update from beta 1 to beta 2) may not work for some plug-ins

Product configuration

• Maemo SDK ARMEL rootstrap is ment to be used only for cross-compiling and it does not support running or debugging applications
• Diablo 4.1.2 device requires kernel patch from here http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php to be flashed to the Tablet for USB Networking to work with Windows host PC
• Diablo 4.1.2 device requires hildon-desktop patch to be installed to the Tablet from pc-connectivity Garage repository (see instructions from here http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/beta1/installation.html) for VNC client to work on host PC

Maemo Mica plugin framework for Eclipse

• While debugging Python application automatic termination of debugged program does not work when debugging session ends
• Automatic installation of OProfiling support to the Maemo device may cause Eclipse to crash if Eclipse cannot find OProfile packages from configured repositories. Add repository

  deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/tools free

  to the Maemo device and run "sudo apt-get update" manually as workaround.

Maemo ESBox plugin for Eclipse

• Some of the templates and examples provided by ESBox are not yet ported to Fremantle

Maemo Pluthon plugin for Eclipse

• none

Maemo PC Connectivity

• Mac OS X support is still initial for Beta 2 release on functionality and quality point of view. Especially testing on Mac environment has been somewhat limited.
• Configuring connectivity to work between Maemo device and host PC after installation is still partly manual work on host PC side for all supported operating systems
• When creating a project and setting sbrsh as download method quite often errors like "sbrsh server: fuse: bad mount point " and "sbrsh server: Can't mount to point:" happens. As a workaround you need to restart sbrshd (on Maemo device side) and restart Esbox (on host PC side)

Maemo SDK Virtual Image

• NetworkManager is being started after Scratchbox, so the resolv.conf file used by Scratchbox may be invalid which causes network problems

Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool

• Flasher-3.5 beta tool may have problems in some Windows host PC configurations to flash eMMC images properly. Workaround is to retry with another USB port in host PC or use Linux/Mac for eMMC flashing

Integration testing

• Some publically available test suites (for Eclipse components and NFS mounts, for example) are run on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X during integration testing but frameworks and test sets are not yet ready to be published
• Test results (for unit tests and integration tests) for official releases are not yet ready to be published together with products
