Glass OS update[edit]


Glass updates by itself automatically over the air. Glass will check Google servers periodically for updates. When an update is available, Glass will download it to the device and will install the update all by itself. This happens under the condition of active battery charging and a reliable Wi-Fi connection.[9]



OS hacks[edit]







Gain root access[edit]



Root access can be easily obtained by using the following script using the rooted bootloader.[10]


$ adb reboot bootloader  # enter fastboot mode, takes 10-15 seconds

$ fastboot devices  # verify device is in fastboot, should see its serial #

$ fastboot oem unlock  # unlocking erases all data, you are prompted to run this command twice to be sure

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img  # gain root shell access with the rooted bootloader

$ fastboot reboot  # reboot the device

$ adb root  # start adb as root

$ adb shell  # access the shell as root


Flash factory image[edit]



Extract the desired factory system image package to flash Glass back to factory specifiations, then run the following script.[10] Boot and system images can be found on Google Glass developer website.


$ adb reboot bootloader  # enter fastboot mode

$ fastboot devices # verify device is in fastboot, should see its serial no.

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img  # flash partitions with factory images

$ fastboot flash system system.img

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

$ fastboot erase cache  # optional, erase the cache and userdata partitition

$ fastboot erase userdata

$ fastboot oem lock    # optional, only if you want to re-lock the bootloader.


Modify Kernel source code[edit]



The kernel source code is easily attainable from the Google repository by using the following script. 


$ mkdir <path-for-kernel-source>

$ cd <path-for-kernel-source>

$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git


Build OS kernel from source code[edit]



To build kernel from the source code, first download the GCC toolchain from the same repository. 


$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt

$ export PATH=<path-for-kernel-source>/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH

Then, build the kernel using these commands.


$ export ARCH=arm

$ export SUBARCH=arm

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

$ cd <path-for-kernel-source>/omap

$ git checkout glass-omap-xrr02 #choose the suitable release

$ make notle_defconfig

$ make

Why Apache Software License? ... For userspace (that is, non-kernel) software, we do in fact prefer ASL2.0 (and similar licenses like BSD, MIT, etc.) over other licenses such as LGPL. Android is about freedom and choice. The purpose of Android is promote openness in the mobile world, but we don't believe it's possible to predict or dictate all the uses to which people will want to put our software. So, while we encourage everyone to make devices that are open and modifiable, we don't believe it is our place to force them to do so. Using LGPL libraries would often force them to do so.

Full-time equivalent

Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts. FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
