Introduction
=======================================================================
The Revolution SDK Extensions package (the REX package) is an extended library package that adds various features to Revolution SDK (the SDK). These features include Internet-based wired and wireless network functions, functions for data communications with the Nintendo DS system, and virtual file system functions.

Because RevoEX does not run on its own, be sure to install the SDK first.

This package supports CW for Wii.

=======================================================================
System Requirements
=======================================================================
The corresponding SDK version is as follows.

- Revolution SDK 3.2 patch 3 (CW for Wii 1.0)
- NDEV Firmware 55.18.25
- CodeWarrior for Wii version 1.0

This will run on the NDEV Wii development platform.


=======================================================================
Quick Start
=======================================================================

1) Install tools including the Revolution SDK tools.
   
Be sure to install SDK-related tools and NDEV-related tools according to the prescribed procedure.
   
   
2. Extract the Revolution SDK Extensions package.
   
Unpack the RevoEX package in a directory different from the SDK directory. Also, be sure to install RevoEX and the SDK in separate directories. This will prevent problems such as file collisions and disparity of file versions caused by current differences in the frequency with which the SDK and RevoEX packages are updated.
   
Note: The package configuration may be standardized (so that the two packages are updated together) in the future.
   
   
3. Set the REVOLUTION_EXT_ROOT environment variable.
   
Set the REVOLUTION_EXT_ROOT environment variable as the path to the top directory of the package.
When $/RevoEX appears below, it refers to the top directory. The following files and directories are in the top directory.
   
     % ls $REVOLUTION_EXT_ROOT
     RVL  X86  build  include  makefile  man
   
   
4. Update the NDEV firmware.
   
To use RevoEX 2.4, you need version 55.18.25 or later of the NDEV firmware. Therefore, use the latest version of Revolution SDK and update your NDEV firmware.
   
   
5. Network settings.
   
Because some of the network demos use the settings saved to the console's NAND flash memory, you should configure your network settings after referring to $/RevoEX/docs/TechnicalNotes/NetworkDevelopment.pdf.
   
   
6. Build demos.
   
To start building demos supplied with RevoEX, run the following from the $/RevoEX directory:
   
     % make
   
The binary files are generated in $/RevoEX/RVL/bin/demos.
