This code lives at the repository: https://github.com/todbot/blink1-tool It originally lived as a directory https://github.com/todbot/blink1 but now has its own repository.

For pre-built binaries, see the Releases page: https://github.com/todbot/blink1-tool/releases

To build, see the Makefile.

The current tools are:

• blink1-lib -- C library for controlling blink(1)
• blink1-tool -- command-line tool for controlling blink(1)
• blink1control-tool -- blink1-tool for use with Blink1Control (uses HTTP REST API)
• blink1-tiny-server -- Simple HTTP API server to control blink1, uses blink1-lib
• blink1-mini-tool -- commandline tool using libusb-0.1 and minimal deps
• blink1raw -- example commandline tool using Linux hidraw

Type make help for a full list.

Also see in this directory:

• scripts -- examples shell scripts using blink1-tool

Supported platforms for blink1-tool and blink1-lib:

• Mac OS X 10.6.8, 10.7+
• Windows XP+ (built with MinGW & MSYS)
• Linux (most all, primary development on Ubuntu)
• FreeBSD 8.2+
• Raspberry Pi (Raspian)
• BeagleBone (Ubuntu)
• OpenWRT / DD-WRT
• ... just about anything else with Gnu Make & a C-compiler

In general, the blink1-tool builds as a static binary where possible, eliminating the need for shared library dependencies on the target. However, static builds can be problematic for some systems with "different" libusb implementations, so doing make EXEFLAGS= will generally build a non-static version.

[tbd, but basically look at the makefile for blink1-tool]

To build the image from the Dockerfile

• docker build -t robtec/blink1 .

Running the container
