Python based AMT developer toolkit now available
May 21, 2008 – 9:53 pmWe are pleased to announce immediate availability of the python based AMT toolkit.
The Linux AMT DTK provides an easy way to build AMT enabled application based on the Intel AMT SDK and provides sample applications that demonstrate how the stack can be used in real life applications. This DTK is not a port of the Intel AMT DTK by Ylian Saint-hilaire (Intel) which is primarily for Windows and based mostly on C#, it is however inspired by the windows AMT DTK and current sample applications have the same name as in the C# windows DTK.
Although the C# based DTK by Ylian currently does not run on Linux, it might be ported to Linux at some point (C# is supported on Linux and other OSes using the Mono project) in the future. To avoid confusion we shall call this release “Python DTK” to distinguish it from the C# based DTK ( It will also possible to run this “Python DTK” on windows).
The python based AMT DTK runs natively on Linux using python as the primary programming language and utilizes the Linux libraries provided in the AMT SDK.
Currently the Linux AMT DTK supports the SOAP interface only and uses the WSDL files from the SDK to build SOAP stubs that can communicate with any AMT enabled machine. We are working on the next generation of the python DTK which will use the WS-Management interface and will be based on openwsman.
The complete stack can be downloaded from subversion on sourceforge. For example, to download the latest DTK, use the following command:
svn co https://openamt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openamt/dtk/trunk linux_dtk
