In-Depth Information
Argument
Value to Enter
<company name>
The company name value you specified when requesting
the key files in step 4.
<author id>
Finding the value for this is a little convoluted.
First make a copy of the
debugtoken.bar
file
generated in step 8, renaming it with the extension
.zip
.
You can now use an archiving program to look inside
this file. Enter the
META_INF
directory and extract the
MANIFEST.MF
file. Open this file in a text editor and
look for an entry called
Package-Author-Id
. The
string of characters following this entry is the value you
need to put in the MKB file.
13. If Visual C++ is open, shut it down. Double-click the project MKB file to
rebuild it with the changes made previously and start up Visual C++.
Perform a
GCC (ARM) Release
build of the project and then press
F5
to launch the deployment tool.
14. In the deployment tool, change the settings to create a BlackBerry QNX
deployment. When you reach the page labeled
Deployment Summary
,
change the drop-down box to the
Package and Install
option before
clicking the
Deploy All
button.
15. The final page in the deployment tool will be displayed, which for BlackBerry
deployments has two additional fields. The first is labeled
Device hostname
(or IP address)
for which you should supply the IP address of the device
that you want to install the package to. The other field is labeled
Device
password
, and you should enter the password you set up in step 10. Click on
the
Deploy All
button again and the deployment will be made and installed
to the device over WiFi.
The build should now be installed on the device, so breathe a sigh of relief and then
look for its icon in the applications list. Touch the icon to run the program, and you
should be greeted with the merry little message
Hello BlackBerry!
Installing on Bada devices
Installing a build on to a Bada device is one example where using the
Package,
Install and Run
option in
Marmalade System Deployment Tool
is actually a very
good idea, as it is not possible to copy the package to a Bada device manually to
install it.
