Welcome to the developer site!

iRex is pleased to welcome you to the developer resources. Please note that this section of our website is in its very early infancy. Apart from the source code that can be downloaded here, there is not a lot of instructions or documentation yet. We intend (with help of the community) to change that over time.

Developing for the iLiad

It is possible to develop your own software that will run on the iLiad. For private developers this will require an iLiad and a network connection to place new or additional programs on the iLiad. By changing the software on the iLiad iRex can no longer provide customer support or warranty.

Commercial Development Agreement

For commercial applications that use the iLiad hardware and software as a platform a development agreement needs to be in place in order to provide end-user support, service and product warranty. The development environment is the same as for private developers with the addition of a JTAG probe allowing extensive debugging and tracing of the new code to increase development speed.

iRex will consider entering into a development agreement if:

• the new software is developed as an addition to existing iLiad software leaving the current functions intact. Examples are additional content format support or additional hardware support.
• a formal business agreement is in place covering development support and volumes.
  

Based on this iRex will assign resources to:

• work with your engineering team to get them started quickly.
• answer technical questions during the development process.
• align development activities to add functions to the platform .
• support evaluation of your software releases.
• provide access to pre-releases of our new software to test compatability.
• arrange distribution of the additional software to iLiad using the iDS.
