Open source OMA DM Server besides Funambol - dm

Are you aware of any open source implementations of an OMA DM Server besides Funambol or alternatively a library which implements OMA DM ?

You may want to give a try to the OMA-DM simulator provided by Koneki (Eclipse open source project). The simulator uses its own library to implement the OMA-DM protocol. Feel free to use the Koneki forum to give feedback regarding the tool.

Debugging a ppc64 custom OS using QEMU

I am trying to write a simple powerpc64 OS using openfirmware and qemu. My main difficulties come from the lack of a good debug output to use when printing useful information.
When developing for the x86 platform I would use the 0xE9 CPU IO port for printing, and I would redirect it to the stdout of my console using -debugcon stdio, but when searching in the online documentation of QEMU and in several forums I could not find an equivalent for ppc64.
Is there any mechanism like the 0xE9 QEMU-specific CPU port in the x86 platform that can be used for debugging when coding for ppc64, in the same fashion? Thanks in advance.
If you're using OpenFirmware and haven't quiesced it yet, perhaps you could get somewhere with the write OpenFirmware call.
See e.g. Linux's prom_printf() in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c.

SCA (Service Component Architecture) alternative

Looks like the Apache Tuscany Project has been retired. Not sure what that really means, but there are still quite some Opensource and Vendor specific implementation using SCA. If this standard isn't supported anymore is there any other alternative out there ? Also I don't get why SCA hasn't been used as the main binding for Microservices, because they are kind of the same as SCA Components/Modules.
Regards
Unfortunately Oracle blocked passage of the specifications at OASIS (you will have to ask them why since they never explained the reason for their vote to the specification committee).
Fabric3 (fabric3.org) is an active open source project that supports SCA and is used for a number of microservice-based architectures. You may want to look at that.
Sadly SCA didn't hit the industry as the council was expecting and that's why they decided to archive it. Currently WebSphere Application Server 8.5 supports it, but since the Apache project is not supported anymore I cannot guarantee long term support.
As for services, my advise is that you go with the standard well-known specs like SOAP and REST.
SCA is now dead. The world has moved on to gRPC.

using google chrome Pepper API to access Win32 API

I have to write a google chrome extension/plugin that has to send out events to a win32 service when certain websites are accessed.
1. Is Pepper API/Native Client the right approach to do this?
2. If I can use Pepper API, is it possible to access the Win32 named pipes to send information to the win32 process? If not, is there an alternate approach available to achieve this goal?
Pepper is by the very definition a sandbox, and supposed to be cross-platform. Without knowing anything about it, I would guess that the answer is "no".
Native Client is a sandbox for running compiled C and C++ code in the browser efficiently and securely, independent of the user’s operating system.
From within an extension, the right approach would be Native Messaging.
The idea is to have a native application ("host") that Chrome can invoke on demand and communicate with. It can serve as a proxy for your calls.
For more information, look around the linked documentation and chrome-native-messaging here on SO.

Information about FI-WARE GEis at FI-LAB platform

I would like to use the FI-LAB platform at http://lab.fi-ware.org. However, I have doubts about which specific generic enablers instances can I use there or the APIs they are exposing.
Thus, where can I find info about instances of FI-WARE GEs deployed on FI-LAB I can experiment with?
A good starting point could be the Developers Portal
http://www.fi-ware.org/fi-ware-developers-portal/
There you will find several core components, most of them available at fi-lab. Follow the "more info" link at each Ge, and then check the "Instances" tab in the general Catalogue to obtain more information of where it is deployed or if it is available at fi-lab instance.

Need a starting point for using the Yodlee Wizards

I'm just getting started using Yodlee, and I'm excited about the prospect of using the Linked Account Wizard (among the others.) Unfortunately, the only documentation I've found so far on them is a brief mention of "Yodlee Hosted Wizards" in the SDK Developer's Guide. Is there more documentation on them anywhere in the Yodlee documentation trove? It's tricky to know where to start with these things.
Thanks!
Check out the doc Aggregation Quick Reference Guide-11.1.pdf from this page:
http://developers.yodlee.com/docs-tools-how-tos
Nick is right there's a bit more instruction on LAW in the aggregation quickstart guide. That's available in our dev portal and v11 ftp server. There are some additional docs on the ftp server not currently on our dev portal. If you don't have access to that send a request here http://solutions.yodlee.com/web-inquiry.html and David will get you hooked up.
