Tool to configure the Palitra device

Compilation

The application is Electron-based. To compile it you need Node and npm installed. Once you download the repository you need to run

npm install

To start it you need to run

npm start

Note that the app is very much work in progress - it does its job but the interface is not finished yet. In particular the bootloader functionality is not finished.

Known issues

1. The application always says that there is an update of the device firmware available
2. The firmware is loaded from a fixed location
3. The progress bar is not yet implemented.
4. The profile is not backed up on upgrade, meaning that an upgrade will delete all existing shortcuts

2. Run npm start
3. Click on the "click here" link at the bottom of the screen
