Study Notes

This afternoon, Gavin told me something about integrating poweron’s software, which is called “pvg” and developed on Fedora5/6. It is used for video monitoring. Shan Xiaoyu and Xi Zhaoxu visited poweron, and later poweron agreed to give their program(binary format) to us for testing. We only need to run the script in the exacted directory. Zhufeng had installed it successfully on CentOS4.4. While in current BX1200 environment, it said that the glib version is too slow to run the program. We fixed this issue by upgrating the kernel from 2.6.21-7 to 2.6.22.15(stable), however, we do not estimated the effection to other components of BX1200, for example, Samba and NFS. The first successful running would create a license key that need to be re-certificated by poweron. Huang Pengcheng sent the first key file to poweron and later got the new key file, while in today testing, it seemed the received file can not be used. I have collectted all relevant information and send feedback to PowerOn.

PowerOn is still worry about how to update their video programs if integrate in our close BX1200. Gavin said we can provide a general interface for uploading as upgrate files in BX1200(Web/http upload).

Till the end of January, I will focus on this testing. The goal we want to reach is estimating whether integrate pvg or not. If integrate it, we also need to estimate the working load.
