Installing binaries from SDCard

This option was introduced for developers (for testing in real environment).

Before using 'Native client->Update from SDCard' option you should create directory with client and/or applications binaries (ofcourse inside SDCard). You can put zipped binaries or unzipped. BOINC client should have 'boinc_client' (or 'boinc_client.zip') name in directory. BOINC applications should be provided as directory (also as zipped). Application directory or zip should have name of the project (for example: 'MilkyWay@Home' or zipped 'Milkyway@Home.zip'). In application directory you must provide app_info.xml file (this file describes application for BOINC client and used by anonymous platform mechanism).

Example directory:

  • boinc_bins
    • boinc_client.zip - inside zip: boinc_client file
    • Milkyway@Home.zip - zipped directory with application's binaries
    • Primegrid - unzipped binaries
      • app_info.xml - app_info for boinc client
      • primegrid_gcwsieve_1.12_arm-android-linux-gnu - application's executable

You can also install binaries for projects (with using this same option), whose are not supported by me (doesnt exists in the my repository). You can use this option to testing our binaries (even for new projects).
