I prefer Linux as a development platform (I "grew up" using Unix, developing in C), so making a native Linux port of EFILive is something that I would really like to see.

The first push would be to get "EFILive_Hapi" ported and running on Linux. EFILive Hapi is the Hardware API (HAPI) that allows multiple processes to communicate with FlashScan and AutoCal devices. The apps don't need to know anything about USB or OBDII, they just need to make API calls such as getVIN(), setVIN(), getPIDValue() etc.

From there, a published API would/could be made available so that Linux developers (and Windows developers) can write their own software to interface with FlashScan. Not sure how it would/could work but its a possibility.

As soon as "business" allows it and I can get some spare time, it is something that I will pursue. However, "getting time" to do it is the hard part.

If anyone is trying to get EFILive working on Linux and needs tech questions answered just post them in this forum.

Paul
