10 Software units

Within the system it is possible to assemble user-specific software or addi-

tional independent extensions ("features") as a software unit and mount

them in the u-create studio as an optional package when creating a new tar-

get ("Create target").

The software unit must be created for the desired target system and stored

as its own directory in the path of the Software Service service. To do this,

click on the icon of the Software Service in the right area of the task bar and

open the location via the context menu "Open Software Service Path".

The directory name of the software unit must be composed as follows:

Example: softwareunitdemo_1.0_arm

10.1 Creating a software unit

Each software unit must contain at least one repository and one description

file (meta.xml). This is the only way to use the automatic installation and

uninstallation process of Debian-based control software.

Fig.10-11: Structure

Description file "meta.xml"

The file is the description of the software unit. This contains general informa-

tion (such as name, version, description,...).

We recommend that you create a separate directory in the software unit di-

rectory for each repository within a software unit.
