| [cosmos-dev] PLAYING ADOPTER: Adopting COSMOS i8 and deploying it on a clean machine |
|
Team, I am a new adopter who is very interesting in deploying
COSMOS and trying it out with a sample MDR which I have; and also working with
a sample MDR which I hope COSMOS will provide J… Here is what I did to start off on this venture: 1.
I navigated to http://www.eclipse.org/cosmos/
and read up a little on COSMOS. I also saw two useful links on this page,
one stating Documents and the other stating Downloads. 2.
I then clicked on the Documents link, which took me to http://www.eclipse.org/cosmos/home/documents/index.php
but saw that there was not much info for an adopter like myself. I got
slightly confused by the term “users” and “consumers”,
as I see myself as both. For now, I will assume that an adopter like
myself is a “User” of COSMOS, per the terminology on this page. I
assume that at some point, this page will contain things like Install Guide,
User Guide, etc for “Users” of COSMOS (Rich, is this true?) 3.
I then clicked on the second link, i.e. the Download,
which took me to http://www.eclipse.org/cosmos/downloads/ 4.
I saw a tab which said “Project Builds”
that contains a series of builds under sections “Milestone Builds”,
“Stable Builds”, “Integration Builds”, “Development
Builds”. 5.
A one line description for each section would help. Do
you agree? 6.
I saw that the latest driver in the “Stable
Builds” section is marked as:
This is the build that I will use,
given it later date and the word “Stable” in its description. Rich, I assume that the downloads
page will house the M3 / i11 / 1.0 driver at some point? 7.
Next step: pulling down the i8 driver and trying to install
it on my clean machine… Of course, COSMOS will tell me what constitutes
a clean machine, right? Stay tuned for the next episode in this very interesting
show… Thanks, Jimmy
