PROTA Pi is a new operating system for Raspberry Pi. Raspbian, Raspbmc, or work-alike are great but PROTA takes a different approach on the fundamentals: it installs and operates apps with a click, connects and controls electronics including GPIO of the hardware, and integrates web services with open APIs. All from a Pi that can be accessed privately or openly via internet.
PROTA OS for your Pi takes only a few steps to download and experience. Download now and receive PROTA Pi OS for free.

Awesome!
Very Interesting Im downloading the PI image now, I've a B+ and today ordered a Pi2 =)) Im working for a long time on a Open Project called Souliss, it works over Arduino but we've now native integration to Openhab, Im interested to create a plugin to work with Prota, I'll talk to the development comunity about it

Hi guys,
isn't there someway to develop my Android apps on a webserver so I can work on them via FTP on any machine ?
I have a problem of not being able to continue work on a project once I leave work or leave home.
Please help me.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=remote+desktop
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=VNC
http://www.google.com/search?hl=&q=VPN
Maybe even use a SVN.
It's a bit of a hassle, but I just use dropbox. When I finish working at home I copy the project to dropbox. When I get to work it's ready to go. Copy it back again before I leave work.

Actually I seccond SVN (or GIT if that's your fancy). It can sometimes be tricky to setup on a remote server but the versioning is well worth it.
I got the impression it wasnt just going from home to work and back that he was having trouble with though. All good suggestions though
OK ?

I appreciate the dropbox suggestion.
As an aside, I put a document into my dropbox on my Linux computer at home and immediately checked for it on my dropbox app on my Android phone - it was not there.
Neighter was it avaiable at work hours later at work - don't know how I might force it to refresh.
How about Eclipse RSE ?
As an Android developer using Eclipse comes with the territory.
I came across some thing called RSE( remote system explorer ).
From what I've read, it should give me FTP access to remote files.
But it fails when I try to configure a "Remote system Type".
Does anyone have sucessful experience with this ?

It sounds like you need to better explain what you're actually trying to do. Are you trying to just take some files with you, or are you trying to be able to access your home computer remotely?
They have different solutions. It sounds like maybe you are confusing the two.
VPN/RemoteDesktop/VNC all have to do with accessing a computer remotely which is what you said you were trying to do originally. However it sounds like that's not what you need. Maybe I misintepreted your post. My appologies.
If you're just trying to take your project from home to work and back, then you should set up a server with SVN (or Git or Mercurial) somewhere, possiblly over SSH.
This can be on your home computer, or work (depending what ports your network admin allows), or on a hosted third party server (such as a shared hosting server like BlueHost, DreamHost, or iPowerWeb or something). I'd recommend the hosted 3rd party solution.
Though, if you use linux at home SSH is built into your system.
Dropbox and FTP are OKish, but you might as well just use a USB stick or something...
But SVN and Git have real version control and intgrate with eclipse. If you have it setup properly you can just hit a command in eclipse's project explorer and all the changes are commited to the remote repository.
So anyways, SVN is my advice too
Thank you very much alostpacket !
You were right about needing to explain better. I was not trying to achieve a remote desktop access solution. I was looking for a way to work on my Android projects without have to copy then on a USB or email them to myself.
I use a VPS to host my websites and I assumed I might be able to work on my Andoird projects via FTP from my server so regardless where I am, I have access to the same project - I don't know if you guys think that is possible ?!?
However, I will start to investigate SVN and Git.
Thanks again.
No problem, I'd say check with you VPS provider too, often times they have tutorials on how to set up SVN, or sometimes even automated one click installs.
There will be some learning curve with using SVN, but it will give you a lot of control over versioning your work. It's WELL worth the effort.
If you ever make a mistake you can easily roll back to an earlier version, or you can "branch" off from the main codebase to try out a beta feature and merge it back later with side by side views showing you where all the changes are.
Most every experienced developer uses some type of versioning control software (SVN, Git, Mecurial, CVS, or SourceSafe).
Git does many of the same things but is a bit more advanced and more designed around larger projects with teams of developers working remotely. (Git was developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel teams to use). Mecurial I think costs $$ and is like git. CVS is a bit old, and SourceSafe is a Microsoft produc that I think also costs $$.
SVN is based on CVS and is intended to be the successor and more user friendly than CVS, but it's still takes some time to learn and some patience.
Many Android developers use Git though, so the choice is up to you, however I think SVN is a bit easier to learn.
FYI a SVN inside a dropbox works too.

I managed to snag an Android Accessory Development Kit from Google IO.
After wrangling all the necessary code bits together I got the demo code running on the Arduino board and my Nexus One.
The first picture you can see the phone reading the sensors of the demo shield, button states, the temperature, a light sensor and the joystick position.
In the second picture the phone is controlling the led colors and has one relay turned on.
In the last picture you can see that the phone detects the board being plugged in, Android knows there is no app installed for the board and it cannot be found in market.
The Nexus One is running a rooted 2.3.4 ROM from this thread
P.S. Mod's can we get a forum section for Android Accessory Development?
Now for Pics.
Now that is bad a**!!! I was waiting for something like this!!
Hey, I've been attempting to hack in the support into CM7 (nightly, 2.3.4) on my EVO without much success. I've rebuilt the kernel with the necessary flag enabled and ripped the JAR/XML files from the Nexus S update.
I've monitored logcat and seen that it does find the framework JAR (the application wouldn't install otherwise since it's a needed feature) and a dmesg scan shows that the kernel driver is being initialized.
What's happening now is I plug in the ADK and the output from the Arduino board spams that it couldn't get a protocol version from the phone. The phone slows down to a crawl as its probably being spammed with requests from the ADK for a protocol version and doesn't know what to do.
I'm at a loss here as to what I could possibly be missing. If you have any insight through your own endeavors it would be much appreciated.
Great stuff! I was also at Google I/O and picked up an ADK. Can you post the apk file of your app? I'd love to try it out.
And if you're feeling generous...the code?
badass. good ****
Well done mate...
Have tried it out with arduino UNO?...
uh uh, why i wasn't at the Google I/O
Google is doing really good s**t nowadays. I suppose that Arduino will guest in my house in some time as I am fascinated
I am Actually using the ADK with my Nexus One on an Arduino UNO and an USB-Host Shield from Sparkfun, it works equal but only take a fraction to buy it
My first project is an interface for my Audi, at the moment i only use it to start the Motor, but in future i want to try to build a CAN-BUS interface...
Sure here is the compiled ADK.

The Arduino UNO doesn't have native USB Host support onboard like the megas.
You will need a USB Host shield and will have to modify the Arduino code.

You can find all the ADK instructions and code here.
Note: When you select your build target you must choose
Target Name - Vendor - Platform - API Level
"Google APIs" - "Google Inc." - "2.3.3" - "10"
Otherwise you will get errors trying to build on the new libs. The instructions on the ADK page wern't very clear about this. Took me awhile to figure that one out.
You will need to update your Android SDK if you don't see those options.
-Nik
As for the point of using an arduino uno, Oleg is providing an newer version of his USB lib, it now works with his shield and the ADK.
My car is almost starting with the ADK, i am only missing a few relays and stuff to get it completed but i posted a proof of concept on youtube. Text an explanation is all german, sorry for that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlvpMwSxgMg
if there are any questions Ill be here for you
Great stuff. I am really looking forward to this.
But what I don't get is which hard- and software is required:
- is 2.3.4 sufficient?
Answer: YES
- do other devices (running 2.3.4) than the Nexus 1/S work?
Answer: Pending
- will an Arduino Duemilanove board work?
Answer: NO
Thanks for your help, guys
Besides those questions I have one more:
- assuming I have a board that is connected to a power supply. will i be able to charge an Android device when connecting the board to the handset via USB?
Answer: depends on the boards and its power consumption/outlet. Basically, it should

I reckon it's gonna take off as soon as more USB host boards become available
My Arduino Duemilanove works perfectly
Description:
AndroidLib is a .NET assembly written in C# (C-Sharp) that easily handles communication between a connected Android device and your program. Currently, there is a large amount of automated controls, eliminating thousands of lines of code the programmer has to write themselves. The class AndroidController is a semi-wrapper of the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) binary. The other class you will be working with the most is the Device class. This class contains useful information about the device (for example: software/hardware info, memory info, battery stats, mount points for partitions, root status, busybox information, and much more), as well as exposes many instance methods to control your phone such as Rebooting, Mounting Filesystems, Push/Pull/Install Files, and much more to come. AndroidLib contains all of the Android binaries necessary to work properly. AndroidLib also assumes that the phone's USB drivers are already installed correctly on the target machine, or that your program will take care of it on it's own.
This is perfect for any developer who would like to create, for example, an auto-rooter or any other application that needs to connect with Android devices through a .NET application. AndroidLib provides all the methods needed to communicate with the Android device. This will cut back on the code you have to come up with and write yourself by a HUGE amount!
What it does:
Provides easy-to-use code for communicating with Android devices in .NET
Provides easy access to information about the connected Android devices
Has a large list (and growing...!) of methods that control connected Android devices
Please credit the work here by me in your own projects; not only to give thanks to me and the many hours I am putting in to this project, but so others know where to find it if they need to!
Usage:
Add a reference to AndroidLib.dll in your .NET project and begin using this great API. Please refer to the "Getting Started.txt" guide and full documentation included in the zip.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 or Higher

It's very useful, thank you very much, im planning to code a Filemanager like qtadb, because qtadb is sucking too often
In the process of completely redesigning the library (due to coding stupidity), basically from the base class up. I should have a beta1 out by this weekend for testing. All that are interested in beta testing this library for their Android .NET projects, post here and I'll add you to the list of testers!
It would be great!
Can you add something like adb forward? So we can connect to an android service without using ADB, that as we all know sucks!

Yeah, I'll throw in a method to create a port forward. What I have now uses the bridge, which is included in the assembly, but handles all of it silently and very well. I should have a build out soon (most likely this weekend). As long as you don't dispose the AndroidController object, that port forward will be good, so you can use your own Socket code

I'm just writing the documentation for this. I'm pretty sure I'll have it done today.
Yeah! Just a joke. When finished I'm sure will be a success!
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk
Making some last minute changes to the Device class, then I'm going to finish the documentation and release it. Just keeping you updated.
Ok everyone, the new documentation is up (Online) (Offline). For the beginning of this product, I would like developers to pm me, or reply here in the thread if they would like to try the library out for their project, and I'll send it to them. It's still under development, and there will be updates coming out regularly. Shoot me a pm or post here and I'll send you a link right away.

Hi,
I'm C# developer and i would like to try your lib, can you send it please?
Thanks in advance, and great work.
Hey guys, check the first post to download the library. It is in a zip which includes the dll, "Getting Started.txt" and the documentation. Please read the getting started guide before diving into it! And please give me feedback on it. That would be much appreciated in order for me to deliver a better product.
Dan
Great work!
It works without any problem to me!
Next update will have these features internally implemented:
Package Manager (inside the phone's shell)
Ability to install/uninstall apks
Ability to freeze/unfreeze apks
Ability to backup/restore apks
A class that will handle signing of update zips
More internal information about connected device (cpu, environment, etc)
Possible wrapper of AAPT
That seems like a good amount for the next update. Please post anything you wish to share about the library after using it for these few days.
Who can tell me how this ipush linux device work?
today I got a news online:a iPush Wireless HDMI Adapter carried OS: Linux 3.0.8 works as a DLAN/airplay receiver for android OS/iOS devices.
Mod Edit: Link removed )
It’s a white small decive and size like USB. Support Wifi and multi language
Let’s think about what would happened when I use it for inf transmission.
1. After Connect them,my phone will appear on a linux user interface?
2. Can I use my mobile to control this user interface?
3. Should i download any app to achieve that?
my friendes talked about it for long time and without an answer.
Any thoughts?

Hi all!
Someone of you might already know about the virtualization engine ExaGear Desktop that enables running of x86 apps on ARM boards. And now ExaGear can be run on Raspberry Pi 2.
http://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/
For owner of previous versions of Raspberry Pi there will be a special vertion of ExaGear. Submit pre-order request in order to be the first to know about this release:

Bty there is an interesting and very detailed article about ExaGear Desktop on ODROID board written by independent user:
http://magazine.odroid.com/assets/201502/pdf/ODROID-Magazine-201502.pdf
this sounds pretty interesting, i have been looking for a solution to a problem at work, we need 30+ work stations to do simple data entry through a Microsoft access frontend. is it possible to run MS access in ExaGear? and would it have any trouble linking back to an SQL server?
the hope is to buy 30 Pi's rather than having to shell out for that many PC's, if something like this works it would save us a fortune
Thanks

Exagear has very efficient bt core which utilize ~50% native performance. But rpi itself is not very fast device, so it depends on software requirements.
