What is Bionic Bunny?

Bionic Bunny (BB) is a platform for embedded systems development, providing microkernel operating system-like functionality. It provides language-independent, hardware-independent and network-transparent communication for power efficient computing in heterogeneous microcontroller robotics applications.

Installation

1. Download the latest version of the BB platform (see http://www.bionicbunny.org) to the place where it will live (e.g. /opt/bbos/):

    $ git clone git@github.com:sladeware/bbos.git
   

2. To install bbos, make sure you have Python 2.7 or greater installed. If you're in doubt, run:

    $ python -V
   

3. Run the tests:

    $ python setup.py test
   

   If some tests fail, this library may not work correctly on your system. Continue at your own risk.

4. Run this command from the command prompt to initiate setup process:

    $ python setup.py install
   

   All the modules will be installed automatically if required. The installation process will generate default config file ~/.bbconfig. In case you would like to refresh it and does not want to reinstall the package, run:

    $ python -m bb.config
   

   Run the following command to uninstall the framework:

    $ python setup.py uninstall
   

Install using virtualenv

Sometimes it's required to manually install bbos using virtualenv. Create an environment (e.g. bbos-env) and switch to bbos home directory:

$ virtualenv bbos-env
$ cd bbos/

The following example shows how to run tests:

$ ../bbos-env/bin/python setup.py test

Continue installation process from step 3 from section INSTALL by using created environment.
