Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] initial discovery service

Javier,

We're interested in this kind of feature for the parallel tools platform. We're currently looking at using RSE to provide remote launch/build/debug services, but there is definitely a need to be able to discover what services are available on a remote machine. It would be nice if the information retrieved from the remote system was in the form of arbitrary attributes so that it could be used as general resource discovery mechanism.

Regards,

Greg

Hi All,

Symbian couldn't attend the phone meeting yesterday, but we would like to raise a question about the initial discovery of remote embedded systems and how to manage them. We think it would be interesting having a remote system discovery facility, allowing to retrieve information through a standard protocol such as the description of the system and the list of available services. Also executing basic hardware services on the remote systems (mainly restart and reflash) could be interesting.

The discovery facility could consist on:

* A contribution to the RSE "New Connection" wizard, at the same position where RSE allows checking if the provided IP exists * A standard TCP/IP based protocol (to be investigated) to report the available services on the embedded system and start them as requested by the user. At this stage possibly the SPIRIT information could also be retrieved. * A view to manage registered embedded systems and perform basic hardware actions as restart or reflash.

As in the current release only the IP address is checked, possibly an early handshake with the embedded system could be useful.

Is anybody else interested in this feature ?
