12Introduction
13=======================================================================
14The Revolution SDK Extensions package (the RevoEX package) is an extended library package that adds various features to the Revolution SDK (the SDK). These features include Internet-based wired and wireless network features, features for data communications with the Nintendo DS, and virtual file system features.
15
16Since RevoEX does not run on its own, be sure to install the SDK first.

20System Requirements
21=======================================================================
22The corresponding SDK version is as follows:
23
24- Revolution SDK 3.2 patch 2
25- NDEV Firmware 55.18.25
26
27This will run on the NDEV Wii development platform.

31Quick Start
32=======================================================================
33
341) Install tools including the Revolution SDK tools.
35
36Be sure to install SDK-related tools and NDEV-related tools according to the prescribed procedure.
37
38
392. Extract the Revolution SDK Extensions package.
40
41Unpack 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.
42
43NOTE: The package configuration may be standardized (so that the two packages are updated together) in the future.
44
45
463. Set the REVOLUTION_EXT_ROOT environment variable.
47
48Set the REVOLUTION_EXT_ROOT environment variable as the path to the top directory of the package.
49When $/RevoEX appears below, it refers to the top directory. The following files and directories are in the top directory.
50
51 % ls $REVOLUTION_EXT_ROOT
52 RVL X86 build include makefile man
53
54
554. Update the NDEV firmware.
56
57To use RevoEX 2.3, you need version 55.18.25 or later of the NDEV firmware. Therefore, use the latest version of the Revolution SDK, and update your NDEV firmware.
58
59
605. Network settings.
61
62Because 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.
63
64
656. Build demos.
66
67To start building demos supplied with RevoEX run the following from the $/RevoEX directory:
68
69 % make
70
71The binary files are generated in $/RevoEX/RVL/bin/demos.
