A Method of Plug-in Development on uCLinux-based Konqueror/Embedded Browser

Due to its poor support of the newest flash standard, it may be harder to make wide application of embedded browser in pervasive computing area, especially the ones running on the uCLinux-based platform, which has no MMU support. This paper focuses on this issue. It chooses the open-source project Konqueror/Embedded Web browser as the research basis, and proposes a method of developing plug-ins on the Konqueror/Embedded-based Web browser. Then it successfully applies this method to designing and implementing a flash plug-in for a Konqueror/Embedded browser that runs on the uCLinux-based embedded platform. It also operates several strict tests to prove that the method is effective and the plug-in developed runs stably and performs well.
