Libraries (1/3) - code

It is not complicated to build a Library.

Libraries (2/3) - Advantage

Sharing libraries : Advantage to pebble over other platforms.

Focus on your strength A company may pay developer for his library

in commercial usage.

Libraries (3/3) - usage

A watchface built as a library, can be used by different developers.

Application can include several libraries from different developers

Examples− Activity tracker− Gesture recognition− Several remote control systems together− Components like battery/communication.

Overlay

What is it? Overlay allows putting more things together

Overlay memory map example

Basic concept of overlay

Loading code or code+data before usage, Attention to init/deinit Care for memory usage. (overlay size) Several adjustments are needed

Overlay – build script

Overlay requires special build script. Currently automatic triple compilation

Overlay – Future ToDo

Add debug option, Improve build process
