docker-connectiq

Docker image is available through docker hub as kalemena/connectiq

Usage

Docker Image pull / build / run

$ make pull
or
$ make build
or
$ make console

💡	Command lines make console, or make eclipse will map folders: CIQ_WORKSPACE=./eclipse-workspace CIQ_BINARIES=./.Garmin EXAMPLES_FOLDER=./examples For persistence reasons, files created in eclipse or console should be done in these folders.

Connect IQ certificate

Certificate is generated automatically if it does not exists under home folder ${CIQ_WORKSPACE}/developer_key.pem.
This logic is part of ./run.sh.

$$ cd ${CIQ_HOME}/samples/Drawable/
