Reminder: Source Code and how to get it
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 by sol
Categories: Info , code

Whenever we get some press, as we did this past week, I am asked both via email and in blog comments where the Source Code is and how to get it. I thought I'd put up a quick reminder post so that it was easily accessible.

This was from November 14th and the original post can be accessed here:

...at the bottom of the developers page you’ll see a link to download the source code. It’ll open up a form to fill out a bit of info (we promise not to spam you). It’s not a huge download (~12MB).

The same source code download is still there. Over the past several months thousands of developers have accessed the source code and we feel proud to be encouraging further development and to be fulfilling our obligations under the GPL.

One goal that is frequently discussed here at DeviceVM is to issue a complete and thorough SDK so that we can encourage development and harness the awesome power of the open source community. It is definitely on our roadmap and you can look for that SDK in the near future. Thanks for your comments, concerns and interest in Splashtop!

When will Splashtop support H.264 video playback?

Hi Lars - this is Sol from Splashtop. We will have H.264 video playback available when we upgrade to Flash 9 which should be happening in June/July. Thanks for your question and support!

[...] The new range of notebooks featuring the secondary Linux OS will be available from June 2008.  ASUS is yet to announce pricing, though considering the machines span different segments expect a broad spectrum of price points.  Developers and tinkerers interested in Express Gate (which is called Splashtop by DeviceVM) can download the source code here.

You have already demo'd Splashtop on an eeepc from an external drive. Since the binary already exists, and the code is GPLed, why not put the binary on the web, even if it is an unsupported demo?

I made some tries at booting usb flash and after days of F%#@ing around still can't get proper kernel... I looked threw the splastop_src.tar.bz but all thats there lots of source/binary apps (firefox, pigin, packman,/static/aufs.koand busybox ,blackbox,tinyX,wirelesstools,and 100's of other /ect/lib/sbin/binvar/usr/andmore, and there is config-2.6.20-11 file not gz. so far I use ubuntu custom eeexubuntu 7.10 kernel, no kernel panic!! but it comes to (can't find cmos set the date YYMMDDhhmmss... or so anyway) i set the date but it says the same over and over for days lol allmost givein up, I'm not a c/c++ but can F$%k with linux/unix... i think that you need special bios update or something of the sort but if the is any 1 who knows about source/binary better please help..
