Last month I read a blog entry from
hadess via Fedora Planet about hardware to let you run homebrew
applications on Nintendo DS. There is a ton of homebrew applications
available, but as of yet no jabber client.
My home automation system is all based around XMPP, with a standard Jabber
server to which all the home automation systems connect to share messages. I
wrote it like this so that it would be easy to just take some existing Jabber
client for a platform and be able to come up with a nice looking front end with
minimal effort.
I found Iksemel, a portable
C XML parser and protocol library that looked perfect, and it only
took a couple of hours to have it ported on the NDS, and a couple
more hours to get it working with PAlib for wifi. It's not a generic
Jabber chat client, but it wouldn't take too much work to make it into
one (although I didn't bother with encryption support so you won't be
able to use it with Google talk servers for example). Anyway, the code
might save someone a few hours, so I've made the source available.
I've included a copy of Iksemel, so if you want to build this yourself
all you need is a working development environment: devkitpro and PAlib. This
still needs some work, I need to integrate a library to handle displaying
images from the network (when the phone rings it can pop up the callers
picture or a streaming picture from one of the cameras when the doorbell
is pushed)
