# Checkbox Launchers and Configuration Files

- Official Checkbox document https://checkbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
- Launcher example source code https://github.com/tai271828/checkbox-launcher-conf-examples

## Machine Manifest

- **/home/ubuntu/.local/share/plainbox/machine-manifest.json**

{"com.canonical.certification::has_bt_smart": false, "com.canonical.certification::has_card_reader": false, "com.canonical.certification::has_ethernet_adapter": true, "com.canonical.certification::has_thunderbolt": false, "com.canonical.certification::has_thunderbolt3": false, "com.canonical.certification::has_touchscreen": false, "com.canonical.certification::has_tpm2_chip": false, "com.canonical.certification::has_usb_type_c": false}

# Setup Facilities

# WiFi Mode

- We should setup/decide the mode (n/b/g/ac) prior to testing.

## Bluetooth - Eddystone

- Model: Nordic Thingy
- The current checkbox just check if it detects an advertisement over eddystone. Arbitrary advertisement is acceptable.

## Bluetooth - Eddystone Alternative 1

- bluez-hcidump
- sudo apt-get install bluez-hcidump
- PyBeacon
- sudo -H PyBeacon -s
- Setup steps https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hGx-ylUmFq3mfoIJxzaiGkSdAjdol54HQoUGR6BVDpc

## Bluetooth - Eddystone Alternative 2

- aioblescan
- sudo pip3 install aioblescan
- python3 -m aioblescan -e
- Setup steps https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hGx-ylUmFq3mfoIJxzaiGkSdAjdol54HQoUGR6BVDpc

## Bluetooth - Obex

- obexftp deb
- sudo apt-get install obexftp
- obexftpd -c ~/.obexftp -b

Install the obex ftp:

apt-get install obexftp
killall obex-data-server
mkdir ~/.obexftp
obexftpd -c ~/.obexftp -b 

Prepare a script to activate it:

pkill -f obex-data-server

cd ~

if [ ! -d ".obexftp" ]
then
    echo "no directory, creating.."
    mkdir ~/.obexftp
    chmod 775 ~/.obexftp
fi

obexftpd -c ~/.obexftp -b

You may want to launch the script automatically with Ubuntu Desktop over the desktop configuration **/etc/xdg/autostart/run-obexftp.desktop** when each time you power on your device.
