MeeGo IVI Weekly Builds

Automated weekly MeeGo IVI repository and image builds are available on meego.com for testing and development baselining. Each build has a build version and date in its path. MeeGo Release Versioning explains the build version numbering scheme. For example 1.1.80.xx is a 1.2 Alpha build, 1.1.90.xx is a 1.2 Beta build, 1.1.99.x is a 1.2 Release Candidate, and 1.2.1 is the first release update after the final 1.2 release.

MeeGo weekly build repositories

IVI live .iso images are found under the IVI link. A list of every package included a live image is found in the same directory as the image. RPM packages are found under the oss and non-oss links.

IVI Home Screen Changes

The IVIHome screen has been updated to reduce the number of choices in the main menu. Instead of a dozen or so choices in the main menu and two to three choices in sub-menus, now there are five to six choices in the main menu and about the same in sub-menus. We changed this to make menu choices easier and quicker. The IVI home screen has been designed to support driver interaction with the minimal amount of distraction. This is enhanced by the use of scrollwheel, Text to Speech and Speech Recognition, removing the need to look at or touch the display.

Nokia Terminal Mode

Packages implementing the Nokia Terminal Mode have been included in the build. There are two packages(libqterminalmode and qterminalmodeclient) must be installed from the oss repositories in order to try this code. These packages currently only work with Nokia developer kit phone sets. Terminal Mode Developer Offering has more information about the software and how to get developer kits

WiFi Tethering

MeeGo IVI now includes the capability to act as a WiFi Access Point enabling data sharing between tethered WiFi devices MeeGo WiFi Tethering Feature

EMGD

The Embedded Media Graphics Driver (EMGD) is now integrated with all IA32 builds and provides support for the Power-VR graphics core in Intel IVI platforms. The driver package is named "emgd-bin...." and can be found in the "non-oss" repository. This driver is considered ENGINEERING SAMPLE quality with NO guaranteed response to issues. Anyone planning to use this driver in product should obtain production quality support from the EMGD team via http://edc.intel.com
