Wireless daemon for Linux
*************************
Copyright (C) 2013-2014 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.
Compilation and installation
============================
In order to compile the source code you need following software packages:
- GCC compiler
- GNU C library
- Embedded Linux library
To configure run:
./configure --prefix=/usr
Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.
To compile and install run:
make && make install
Embedded Linux library
======================
In order to compile the daemon and control utility the development version
of Embedded Linux library is required to be present. The development
repositories can be found here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/ell/ell.git
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/libs/ell/ell.git
The build systems requires that the Embedded Linux library source code
is available on the same top level directory as the Wireless daemon
source code:
.
|--- ell
| |--- ell
| `--- unit
`--- iwd
|--- src
`--- client
It is not required to build or install Embedded Linux library. The build
will happen when building the Wireless daemon and it will then be linked
internally.
Kernel dependencies
===================
In order to use this daemon and control utility the kdbus kernel module
is required. The development repositories can be found here:
https://github.com/gregkh/kdbus
https://code.google.com/p/d-bus/
The daemon will start its own private bus that is located at the /dev/kdbus
device hierarchy:
/dev/kdbus
|--- control
`--- 0-iwd
`--- bus
When started as root, the new private bus will be /dev/kdbus/0-iwd/bus
and it can be verified with the busctl utility from systemd:
# busctl --address=kernel:path=/dev/kdbus/0-iwd/bus
NAME PID PROCESS USER CONNECTION CONNECTION-NAME
:1.1 62151 iwd root :1.1 iwd
:1.2 62153 busctl root :1.2 sd-busctl
Clients talking to the daemon must specifiy the private bus address.
