Air Linux Arm happiness

I've been developing Air apps for a few years now, I even wrote a white paper for the Adobe LCCS team.  Now I'm working on porting our code to our partners 8" linux photo frame with an arm processor.  Currently all I have to work with is FlashLite4 (so no sqlite...).   I'd like to know how I go about getting a version of air that will run / compile onto this platform?
I understand if the answer is apply for access, sign my life away, and beg for acceptance into some Adobe program   I just want to know how I can get there.
Thanks!

  • Berkeley DB JDBC Build on Linux/ARM Errors?

    I have done some porting work of Berkeley db4.6.21 on vxworks6.3, and I think my experiences may help:
    If you decide to use db-4.5.21, simply open the WorkBench2.5, create a "downloadable kernal module", and then import the db source tree, make sure not to import the files not needed. To see what files to be imported, you can open the db/dist/srcfiles and retrieve the lines with "vx" string, and import only the files listed in the retrieved list.
    Then, you can build the project. Note that there are some data type conficts between berkeley db source and the vxworks os, that is the u_int8_t and the like, you will have to remove the definitions in the headers belonging to vxworks.

  • Linux ARM Softfloat JVM doesn't operate remainder operator correctly

    I installed jdk-7u45-linux-arm-vfp-sflt.tar.gz (Linux ARM v6/v7 Soft Float ABI) on my pandaboard,
    and found that remainder operator doesn't work correctly in case of floating-point operands.
    For example, the result of
      Double res = Math.random() * 100 % 1
    is,
    [In Case Of SDK for x86, or Linux ARM Hardfloat SDK]
      0 < res < 1
    [Case: Linux ARM Softfloat SDK]
      1 < res < 100
    Is this a specification for Softfloat version or a bug?

    Sorry for necro, but I was wondering if you were able to resolve this issue. I'm also running ubuntu with xfce on an ARM chromebook.
    I assume you used Ubuntu Software Center to install the version you had working. I noticed the same things you found in in the INI and tried some tweaks myself, playing around with different downloads of eclipse, but I can never get the .exe to do anything either.

  • Adobe Air Linux won't install on Eee PC

    Hi - I've been getting some advice on this from @smmehadi on
    Twitter but it's hard 140 chars at a time...
    I'm trying to install Air on my Eee PC 701, which runs
    Xandros Linux. I know this isn't a supported distro but I know some
    others have got it to work.
    When I run the installer, running as root, I get the licence
    panel and then click "I Agree". I then see the "Adobe AIR Setup"
    panel and the progress indicator goes abot 3/4 of the way along
    before it stops and displays the message: "Sorry, an error has
    occurred" "An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR.
    Installation maynot be allowed by your administrator. Please
    contact your administrator"
    As advised, I've done a chmod +x on the installer. I've tried
    to capture the .airinstaller.log file but it doesn't exist. If I
    created it, nothing is added to it by the installation.
    I do have a bunch of files in /tmp/airCrashLogs - are they of
    interest to you? I've also noticed some messages appearing in
    ~/.xsession-errors.
    Many thanks,
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    First of all as your AIR installer is crashing, so please
    check if you have sufficient free memory available (more then
    around 200 MB to be on safer side).
    The please repeat these steps on terminal:
    1. touch ~/.airinstall.log
    2. chmod +x Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    3. Desktop/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
    this will popup the GUI for installation, proceed to the
    point it goes
    when installer has failed or crashed open the log file in any
    editor
    4. vim ~/.airinstall.log
    or
    gedit ~/.airinstall.log or kate ~/.airinstall.log
    and copy the contents of log (~/.airinstall.log) and send
    them to syed-attherateof-adobe-dotcom

  • AIR Linux Edition

    Hi,
    this is primarily targeted to Adobe representatives. When
    will we have a Linux edition of AIR (both runtime and SDK)? I
    suppose that SDK could run on Linux, somehow - I have doubts about
    ADL tool... but there's defintely a need to have a native AIR
    Runtime installer. That leads me to another question: Why me, as a
    "AIR developer" have to install both runtime and SDK? Shouldn't be
    enough to install the SDK that could contain the runtime already?
    That's usually the way how most of the SDK's work.
    Thanks for explanation, Jiri

  • Merging Arch Linux ARM with mainstream Arch Linux

    I just came across a thread [1] in the forums that had discussed unifying support for other architectures into mainstream ArchLinux. Although the thread was a couple of years old, there seemed to be considerable interest even then to bring in ARM support into the mainstream ArchLinux. Is there any possiblity of it happening now?

    This sounds nice - but on what basis is this actually true?  If the criteria of unifying talent were sufficient to justify merging, then we should not only merge archlinux and archlinuxarm, but also ubuntu, mint, fedora, suse, and ever other distro out there.  All the talent would be unified.
    But all that talent would then be useless, as one who is familiar with fedora may not be helpful to someone using archlinux.  Archlinuxarm is sufficiently different that one cannot assume that familiarity or proficiency in one will translate to the other.
    There is a recurring case to have such a merger - and it may be well worth discussion.  But what the discussion needs is a clear assessment of pros and cons.  And a statement that merging unifies talents simply does not hold water as it simultaneously diffuses expertise.
    Didn't Arch have an April Fool's joke one year about rebranding all the distros into one?

  • Adobe air 1.5.1 and linux

    Hi,
    I am using suse 11. I have just created an AIR application setup. It works fine with linux. probably faster than my windows.
    Yes, video is not working. There are some other issues with AIR and linux and as I know those issues are already mentioned by either adobe team or some other guys.
    Here what I want to discuss is ...directory file listing problem. [I have tried to list font files files of application root --> ttf folder]
    I am not sure whether it would be of security issue or something else.
    Hope anyone explain it better.
    Thanks,
    DEL

    Hi DEL
    Thanks for using AIR-Linux and thanks for reporting the issue. In order to solve the problem kindly provide the answers to the following questions:
    1. How are you trying to list the files in the folder? Can you provide a code snippet?
    2. What is the incorrect behaviour you are observing?
    3. Are you using a non UTF-8 system ?
    Thanks

  • Air 3 for Linux

    i m trying to get my hand on Air3 runtime for Linux, as it fixes a lot of graphic refresh issues, i know Adobe do not support it but i thought third parties did.
    This link says it does but it's actually 2.6
    http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Adobe-AIR-Runtime-for-Linux/1258475419/3
    We use Adobe Robohelp do generate Airhelp and our 500 + employees are all using Linux.
    I have no problem with Adobe stopping further Air for Linux dev... But they could at least let us package the runtime rpm ourselves...
    The press release mentionned that only 1 percent of their Air runtime download was for Linux ! They forgot to mention that this 1 percent was their largest clients.
    We use to download 1 rpm, and later on installed it on 500 machines...
    Will the Air source code only accessible to mobile partners ?
    Thanks much
    Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
    I don't have any new AIR Linux information to give out, but I'd suggest reposting this over on the AIR blog.  I'll also ping our PM team to see if they have anything new that might help.

  • Arch Linux and ARM

    We have been talking to the Arch Linux ARM team and have decided to refine our policy around that architecture.
    The Other Architectures forum has been moved into the Technical Issues and Asssistance category, and the ARM sticky has been updated with clearer direction about our policy.
    If you are an ARM user, please take a couple of minutes to familiarize yourself with the updated policy. Both the Arch mod team and the ALARM team feel that this is the best way to ensure that assistance is sought from the community that is best placed to help.

    Whoa, everyone's reading far too much into what I said.  I just meant that I got it installed under the chroot in android following the steps that were on the plugapps site; the actual page doesn't seem to exist anymore, but I found similar instructions here.  I meant that I thought it was cool that I had a functioning build of pacman running locally on the device.  Didn't mean to imply that it was a native install.
    Although I understand the reaction as I'm watching the developments in this thread with just as much anticipation.

  • Java Embedded ARM Linux edition

    I tried "Java Embedded ARM Linux edition" on "Familiar GPE 2.7".
    Magically for the 1st time, I was I able to compile a java source using GPE linux on my iPAQ h2200.
    Then I manually copy a few more libraries to test up in the device, "tools.jar" and "hsqldb.jar".
    I tried to compile and run a simple "JOptionPane.showMessageDialog()" UI object.
    I'm able to compile but failed to run it with errors below:
    "java.awt.HeadlessException ... <unknown source> ..."
    "... <unknown source>"Was Java Embedded meant to support swing object, or awt?
    Since this is an evaluation distribution (which will expired after 90 days), how do I get a full distribution?
    Thanks for any help.
    By Avatar Ng

    Yes I'm refering to "Embedded SE for Linux ARM evaluation binary", and I'm testing it on GPE Linux on my iPAQ h2200 device.
    I got following when I typed "java -version"
    I able to run and compile java in console mode, just that I didn't get my gui working ...
    The last finding I have is to run with phoneme arm distribution, crossing my fingers ... wish me luck.
    I should update the testing results ib my blog below should it be a fail or success.

  • Debugging air 1.5 in flex linux alpha 4

    OK, so you are trying to debug the AIR app in Flex Builder
    Linux Alpha 4.
    * First, you need to copy the runtimes/air/linux folder from
    the original SDK that comes with the builder into the latest SDK.
    * Second, copy contents of the same folder from the AIR SDK
    * Third, rename adl into adl_lin in the Air SDK bin folder
    and copy it to the bin folder in the latest sdk. Do the same with
    adt.
    You should now be able to debug the applications written for
    1.5 in Flex Linux! Don't forget to set application's xmlns
    attribute in the descriptor file to
    http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5

  • How to run Java Swing GUI on embedded ARM Linux platform?

    The object is:
    A touch panel, running Java Swing GUI, with a 25 fps 320x320 mono JPEG image animation and other control buttons.
    What I have now:
    A Developing Board with: ARM926 CPU at 266MHz, 128M RAM, 64M ROM, ported with arm-linux and MiniGUI.
    My plan is:
    1. installing a X-window system to the platform, discarding the MiniGUI.
    2. install j2re-1.3.1-RC1-linux-arm.tar.bz2 to the platform.
    3. run my program developed on a PC.
    My concerns are:
    1. Both X and Java is resource consuming, can a 266MHz ARM CPU meet my requirement?
    2. Is the X a must to run Java Swing GUI? If yes, how can I configure it to minimize the footprint, I mean, install only necessary modules.
    3. Can J2RE 1.3.1, the only port for arm linux, support Swing classes?
    4. Are there other options, such as CDC + PP(AGUI?), how to do it?
    Thanks alot!

    3. Can J2RE 1.3.1, the only port for arm linux, support Swing classes?I'm not entirely sure from your post: is this a J2SE port? If so it will support Swing, but probably needs Qt.

    The size of the Oracle9i Lite 5.0.1.0.1 release for Linux is 1.9MB. This includes Oracle Lite database, ODBC, JDBC, and utilities for RedHat 7.2 Intel Linux. Go to metalink/patch and search for patch # 2240530.
    2. Linux Server
    The 5.0.2 for Linux release includes Mobile Server for RedHat 7.2 Linux, but not the Linux client. This full release includes the entire server framework plus the Mobile Development Kit. Alltogether 250 MB.
