This is meant to expedite the development process and was specifically written to be run on Mac. I dont see any reason why it wont run on linux as well. If you get it to run, please PM me or create a PR with your harware specs and I'll update the compatibility list.
This has been tested and confirmed to work on the following hardware:
- 2018 Intel Mac Mini macOs 14.5
- Install prerequsites
- Clone this repository
- Prepare a new firmware
- Install the new firmware
- Modify the webapp
- Profit
brew install libusb
pip3 install git+https://github.com/superna9999/pyamlboot
Make sure you have the
--recurse-submodulesat the end so you get the dependant submodules.
git clone [email protected]:peledies/spotify-any-thing.git --recurse-submodules
Use the provided helper script to get a new patched firmware.
./prepare_firmware.sh
You only have to do this once per device. After you have done this you can jump straight to using the ct commands.
- hold buttons 1 & 4
- plug in CarThing
NOTE: This may fail several times but it will eventualy make it all the way through the process. It took 4 tries for me. ProTip: dont let your computer go to sleep durring this process
./prepare_device.sh
ADB is included in this repository and can be used on its own to interact with the CarThing. However the included ct script will do pretty much everything you need with fewer keystrokes
The following commands work from the project root:
Create a local backup in the backup directory from the contents of the CarThings webapp
./ct --backup
Serve the webapp directory on port 8000. You can go to http://localhost:8000 to preview your local webapp before pushing. (ctl-c to exit)
./ct --serve
Pull the contents of the webapp directory from the CarThing to your current working directory
./ct --pull
Push the contents of your ./webapp directory to the CarThing
./ct --push
Open a shell to the CarThing
./ct --shell
Reboot the CarThing
./ct --reboot
