RE: Is API running on computeur ?

Hi Geoffroy,

The goal of the HTML5 API is definitely to run on any device that has a recent web browser and the hardware that the API addresses (NFC in this case). We do have an open source implementation of the Tizen-based API that runs on a Linux machine with a USB NFC dongle, that we are using for development. 

The implementation is based on Neard, the reference NFC Linux kernel stack:
https://01.org/linux-nfc/

http://git.kernel.org/?p=network/nfc/neard.git;a=summary


The HTML5 API is implemented as a Javascript library (cloud-neard) on top of the Neard DBus API using Websockets and the Cloudeebus Javascript-DBus bridge.

A node.js implementation of the Webinos API is also in the making. Please keep in mind that this is all preliminary / research work; implementing the APIs as Javascript libraries gives us flexibility, as we're trying to work towards a common draft.

If you want to try cloud-neard on a Linux machine, you'd have to install Neard and cloudeebus. There's a set of MWC2013 slides accessible from the cloud-neard wiki that describe this a bit more, and demo the API.

Cheers,

Luc
