BREW SDK Switcher
When there are multiple versions of BREW SDK in one PC, environment path for SDK, and extensions such as .mif, .bri, .qsc will be associated with newly installed version of SDK.
In order to use older version of SDK, programmers have to rewrite the complicated settings.
By using BREW SDK Switcher, programmers can solve the problems of switching BREW SDK Versions by clicking a button only once.
svHacker
In BREW programming, global variable and static variable can not be used.
svHacker manipulates the compiled mod file to make these variables available.
Porting programs or libraries with global variables will be less complicated by using svHacker
Camulator
BREW Version 2.1 is equipped with camera interface, making it possible for BREW developers to develop application which use camera functions.
However, BREW Emulator Version 2.1 does not have camera emulation function, so programmers who develop application which use camera interface have to do debugging on the actual mobile phone. Since the Debugger is not available, applications with camera functions take more time to develop.
Camulator solves this problem.
Camulator adds camera functions for BREW Emulator Version 2.1, and helps programmers to develop applications which use camera functions.
Terms
