Restricted software has license conditions that prevent us from including it in published builds. These include an Adobe Flash plugin, GStreamer MP3 codecs, OpenGL ES 2.0, and vMeta hardware-accelerated codecs.

How to add

How to add restricted software to your build:

  • contact OLPC for the URL of the restricted software repository,
  • download the Adobe Flash plugins from the repository,
  • merge the patches on our restricted branch, or download restricted-2.ini for XO-1.75, and restricted-4.ini for XO-4,
  • edit the files and change the first $FIXME to the URL of the repository, and change the second $FIXME to the absolute path to the downloaded Adobe Flash plugins,
  • add one of the files to the end of your .ini file, or use one of the files as second argument on the builder command line, for example;
./osbuilder examples/olpc-os-14.1.0-xo4.ini restricted-4.ini
