Developing Apps for beroNet Gateways

Berofix-apps.png


So what's an UserApp?

berofix is able to provide additional services beside its gateway functionality. This is made possible through the berofix application framework, an easy to use solution that lets developers create applications to be run on the embedded berofix plattform.

Sample applications like the asterisk telephony framework are provided by beroNet to show how powerful such apps can be.

How does the Framework work?

The beroFix application framework, short baf, is used to create, compile and an installable package of an application.

Please read the baf Introduction while you make your first steps with UserApps and baf.

baf is developed in a git repository, you can get the lastest version with:

git clone https://github.com/beroNet/baf.git

A gzipped tarball of the baf package is also available. It can be retrieved here:

Before installing an app on your berofix make sure to use AppFS with version 2.2rc or higher, a pre-release can be found here:

Appliance Ecosystem

The beroNet Appliance V2 runs a xen-based hypervisor. The beroNet GUI allows to create and manage VMS from a webbrowser. The beroNet Appliance OS consumes very little of the Appliances' ressources and leaves most ressources to the VMs.

The beroNet GUI allows also to download VM - Apps and ISO files from the beroNet market and from trusted markets of beroNet's technology partners.

A new beroNet technology partner that wants to create his own market and make it a beroNet trusted market should have a defined filesystem layout and a json file describing his market and his apps. For more infos see:
