1 # Automotive Message Broker Daemon {#ambd}
7 Automotive Message Broker is a vehicle network abstraction system. It brokers information from the vehicle
8 to applications. It provides application with a rich API for accessing vehicle data.
10 Automotive Message Broker is built using CMake and requires libltdl (libtool), libjson-c, and boost packages.
14 master is expected to be unstable and may not even compile. If you want something more stable, checkout one of the
15 release branches (ie, 0.9.0, 0.10, etc)
22 cd automotive-message-broker
44 *also see **ambd -h** for additional command line options*
48 For information on ambd's configuration, please see ambd-configuration.idl.
50 ## Running with the Qt mainloop:
52 Some source and sink plugins may want to use the Qt-based mainloop to take advantage of Qt features. To enable
53 the Qt mainloop, run cmake with -Duse_qtcore=On:
56 cmake .. -Dqtmainloop=On
59 You will also need to edit your config to enable the Qt-based mainloop:
63 "mainloop" : "/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/automotive-message-broker/qtmainloopplugin.so",
64 "plugins" : "/etc/ambd/plugins.d"
68 NOTE: by default the glib mainloop will be used.
