Aspire :: OSGi Bundles :: ProximaRF Desktop Reader



This section describes the bundle for ProximaRF Desktop reader (ie HALAdaptor)

Context

The ProximaRF Desktop Reader is a ISO 15693 RFID reader.

The ProximaRF Desktop Reader bundle packages a HALAdaptor for ProximaRF reader attached to the host (Serial emulated USB port).

Building process

  1. You must build the abstract-reader project. This project contains base classes used by all HAL adaptors.
The sources of this project are in trunk/bundles/readers/abstract-reader. Use maven to build this project, the instruction is mvn clean install
  1. Finally you must build the proximarf reader project. The sources are in trunk/bundles/readers/proximarf-reader
Use maven to build this project, the instruction is mvn clean install

Remark: the reader uses the JNA API to invoke the DLL. You have to install the JNA library (jna-3.2.5.jar ) into your maven local repository. Use the next maven command: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun.jna -DartifactId=jna-Dversion=3.2.5 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=jna-3.2.5.jar

Deployment

The artifacts to deploy are

  • org.ow2.aspirerfid:abstract-reader (Artifact that has the base reader classes)
  • com.sun.jna:jna (The JNA bundle)
  • org.ow2.aspirerfid:tagsys-reader (The proximarf reader driver)
