Aaru Remote
|
||
|
|
====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Aaru Remote is a slim miniature application designed to receive device commands from a remote [Aaru](https://github.com/aaru-dps/Aaru)
|
||
|
|
instance, sends it to a local device, and returns the data to the instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main motivation for this is the desire to update Aaru to the latest and greatest features of .NET and C#.
|
||
|
|
This creates a problem, as some people have old devices that do not work in modern Linux distributions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This remote will be supported in older versions of Linux, and will in future versions be supported in FreeBSD, Windows, and possibly
|
||
|
|
network-enabled game consoles (like PSP, Wii, etc.).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While some people will suggest porting the whole Aaru to C or C++, that won't happen, and for the only situation that
|
||
|
|
would be needed (accessing devices where C# does not run) this slim is more than enough.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The usage is very simple, just run the remote, and it will listen for a connection over TCP/IP in port 6666, and print you
|
||
|
|
the available IPs. Running as non-root user only works with some SCSI devices, so better run as root.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the other side, you can use the Aaru with the *remote* command and one of those IP addresses to test the
|
||
|
|
connection. Similarly, using the IP address as an argument for the *list-devices* command will list the devices available
|
||
|
|
remotely.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All commands that support devices are supported, with a URI with the following schema:
|
||
|
|
`aaru://<IP ADDRESS>/<DEVICE PATH>`.
