Blackberry-Py bootstrap

This repository allows you to quickly bootstrap a Blackberry-Py application and start writing BB10 apps with Python.

Get it running

1. Clone this repository with the submodule(s)

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/BerryTrucks/blackberry-py-bootstrap

2. Install Python 3.2.2. The easiest way is through pyenv
3. Generate a debug token (see how below)
4. Run make to compile a bar file, or
5. Enable Developer mode on your BB10 device, adjust signing/bbpass with your real IP address and run

make deploy

Generating a debug token

• Use this form to obtain your bbidtoken.csk file: https://developer.blackberry.com/codesigning/
• Copy bbidtoken.csk to signing/bbidtoken.csk
• In signing/bbpass, fill in:
  • CNNAME: the Common Name for your signing cert (usually your name)
  • KEYSTOREPASS: CSK password you entered in step 1 signup
  • BBPIN: target device's PIN
  • BBPASS: target device's password
• Run make in signing/Makefile to request and deploy the token to your device.

Important: any symbols need to be escaped according to bash / Makefile rules e.g. backslashes before symbols \! and double dollar signs \$$.
