This guide will learn you to make changes to one of the SHR projects. (Like shr-dialer)

Before actually contributing code, please refer to Coding Conventions.

You should have done Building SHR and Getting started developing SHR before you can do this guide.

Just building an SHR project

cd shr-testing
. setup-env  #only once per session

Now you can start building:

bitbake -c clean shr-dialer
bitbake -c build shr-dialer

You should always be in the shr-testing directory before you can use the bitbake command. If you aren't in this directory, you have chance on failures. You should always do the clean command before you do the build command. It makes that bitbake will build the newest files. (In other circumstances it could build the caches)

Changing and building an SHR project

cd shr-testing/shr-apps/shr-dialer
# do all your changes in this folder

cd ../../
bitbake -c clean shr-dialer
bitbake -c build shr-dialer

Now you can find the ipk in tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv4t/shr-dialer*.ipk

Installing it into your Neo FreeRunner?/1973

scp tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv4t/shr-dialer*.ipk root@192.168.0.202:/home/root
ssh root@192.168.0.202

First we gonna delete the cache of opkg. Else opkg will always install the packages that is located on the internet. (You can regenerate the cache by doing 'opkg update')

rm /var/lib/opkg/*

If that package is still the default installed package, you have to do

opkg install shr-dialer*.ipk -force-downgrade

else you can do

opkg install shr-dialer*.ipk

Voila now you have successfully changed the package shr-dialer and uploaded it into your neo for testing purpose.
