SavaJe Mobile Platform
The Mobility Pack for CDC supports the creation of Xlets using the SavaJe
Operating System. Support for the SavaJe OS is built into the Sun Java Wireless
Toolkit for CDC. Because the Jasper S20 is currently available only as a preview
edition, there is no emulator skin available for the Jasper S20. You can,
instead, use the DefaultColorPhone device to simulate the behavior
of the Jasper S20.
If you do have a Jasper S20, these instructions show you how to deploy
the application to your device. Here is what you need:
- The Jasper S20 phone.
- The SavaJe Operating System (OS) (no longer available)
- GSPDA Mobile Device Software (MCCI USB drivers).
Setting Up the Handset
The following steps describe the process for installing the software you
need for the tutorial on the Jasper S20 phone.
Installing the SavaJE OS
NOTE: Unfortunately, the SavaJe OS is no longer available for download. These instructions are made available for those who have access to the SavaJe Mobile Platform software via CD or other sources. This procedure was written for the Jasper S20 handset that had
an earlier version of the SavaJe OS installed and allows you to retain existing
preferences and factory settings.
Three builds of the SavaJe OS were produced:
-
JasperS20.zip
The commercial build that ships on the phone.
-
JasperS20_EA_Developer.zip
JavaOne Early Access developer build without the Java Debug Wire Protocol
(JDWP) enabled.
-
JasperS20_EA_Developer_debug.zip
JavaOne early access developer build with JDWP enabled. To run a bundle
with JDWP debugging, you need to load this build.
Follow these steps to install an updated build of the SavaJE OS on the phone.
- Extract (unzip) the zip file containing the desired build to the root
of the mini-SD card.
- Connect a USB/power cable to the handset.
- Power the handset while holding the Camera key down.
- At the updater menu screen, select Factory Reset by moving the joystick
down until "Factory Reset" is highlighted. Initiate the factory
reset by moving the joystick to the right. Use the joystick to navigate
to Yes and then select Yes by moving the joystick to the right.
The phone should begin loading the new build. After the load is complete,
you may be prompted to press any key to reboot the phone.
- The handset then reboots and displays the Xplore screen. If the battery
charging screen displays during the reboot, press the power button to
continue rebooting the phone.
The first time the handset boots after a factory reset, a Language/Locale
selection menu displays. Make your selections by navigating with the joystick
and pressing the joystick button. You are also prompted to set the time.
Registering the CDC Platform
Follow the instructions provided for the Sun Java Wireless
Toolkit for CDC 1.0.
