10. Open source BONDI Web SDK project
• Two LiMo Member companies, Aplix and Azingo, are
collaborating within LiMo to create an Eclipse-based BONDI
Web SDK
• Will run on Windows, Mac and Linux
• Open source development model – find the source and
documentation at http://bondisdk.limofoundation.org/
• Can be used to develop for any BONDI-enabled phone, LiMo
or non-LiMo

Widget development perspective
• Asset authoring, import/export API definitions, code assist for
HTML/CSS/JS, API browser, config.xml editor, signing support,
deployment to website / file system / target device, local preview
emulation, documentation
Implemented in current Beta
Debug perspective:
• Target definition, Web app execution control, Debug control

13. Debugging
• Deploying and debugging your web app should be possible in
the following 3 scenarios :
In the SDK’s “Phone View” browser preview emulator
• using a Host OS web engine
In the SDK’s LiMo Platform emulator (not supplied by this project)
On the handset itself
• The debug interface protocol is planned to be based on ADB
and ChromeDevTools
