How do I connect WedIDE to my PiFxOS?

[Martyn Eggleton]

In order to have a go at app hacking on the PiFxOS I assumed I would be connecting WebIDE to a Remote Runtime.

I followed these instructions https://wiki.mozilla.org/Hacking_b2g_on_Raspberry_Pi#Preparing_a_development_environment and I got adb to connect OK.

How do I setup WebIDE to connect? do I use some kind of local connection because adb is already running? or do i stop the adb and use a Remote Runtime $IP:5555 (obviously changing $IP to the IP of the Pi).

Hi Martyn,

I'm afraid I don't know which "WebIDE" you're referring to. Can you post a
link?

You should be able to connect the Firefox dev tools that are intended to be
used with Firefox OS to your Raspberry Pi, once you've made the adb
connection.

Cheers,
Chris

Its the new Firefox OS simulation and device management / coding
environment.

Is it adafruit's webIDE?

Sent from my ONE TOUCH IDOL MINI

Nope, it Mozilla's new IDE which replaces App Manager and is built into the
Firefox 33+

Alternative version of question .... Can PiFxOS be managed by "App Manager"?

Hi,

The difficulty is that the Raspberry Pi must connect to adb over tcp, but
WebIDE is built to assume a connection over USB. You can get WebIDE
working by first following the instructions here to connect adb to your RPi

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Hacking_b2g_on_Raspberry_Pi#Preparing_a_development_environment

Next, ensure that your RPi is configured to allow "ADB and Devtools" to
debug over USB

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/WebIDE#Connecting_a_Firefox_OS_device

Next you have to forward a local port to the debugger socket on the RPi.
Run a command like the following

$ adb forward tcp:7788 localfilesystem:/data/local/debugger-socket

(The port "7788" is arbitrary, you can select any unused port.)

*Note*: this connection attempt will raise a prompt on your RPi. Make sure
you click "OK" to allow the connection attempt, or else it can time out.

After all that, WebIDE should be connected to your RPi and functional.

Cheers,
Chris
