SDK VUCI Development

I am working with the Teltonika SDK for the RUTX12 and I have patched some proprietary changes into the OpenVPN package. From a backend perspective this works well.

Now I need to build a VUCI UI component to support the modified OpenVPN package, I have started using examples from the vuci-examples directory in the SDK, but I have not found any instructions on how run/test the frontend. So far I can only write the code, compile the entire SDK, upload the firmware to a router and test there - this is proving to be a very tedious process.

Have I missed any documentation somewhere or is there a proper way to develop and test UI components for VUCI?

There are instructions where you can compile the package and just upload that package instead of whole firmware, but I haven’t seen any instructions for live preview.

Yeah I imagine I can just recompile the opkg package and just reinstall the updated version, but this is still a very tedious process for developing and debugging frontend UI.

In fact, it seems I’m getting the same issue as this: Issues with vuci-apps in SDK 7.14.2 - #4 by jorgefer

And there has been no feedback for the last 15 days there.

Hello @DarrenC,

Our R&D team has thoroughly investigated this issue with custom-built-in UI packages, and it’s confirmed that the fix is planned for the upcoming 7.17 firmware release.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Hi @Martynas

Thank you for the feedback, I’m lookgin forward to the update. :slight_smile:
