Alexa Skill Flow Builder Linux Availablity - alexa

Where can I find Linux distribution of Alexa Skill Flow Builder?
Documentation says requirements for Alexa Skill Flow Builder include Linux.
However, I do not see a download link for Linux Distributions.

I visited the Alexa SKill Builder Documentation
Documentation

AFAIK There is no Linux version of the Skill Flow Builder. The documentation link https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/use-the-skill-flow-builder-editor.html at the moment also do not say a linux version exist. If it was there before, it could have been a mistake. You can probably try to see if you can get it running via an emulator on linux.

macFuse requires Recovery mode on Mac OS 11+

Since Mac OS 11 Big Sur release Apple allows installation of kext drivers in the Recovery mode only.
It also prohibits installation of kext drivers from Apple store. Which I guess is the end of macFuse, at least for virtual/cloud file systems.
What would be the migration path and how to build virtual file systems for Mac OS 11+, in particular for document management and cloud storage, similar to OneDrive, DropBox, etc.
I can also guess that a similar issue may appear on Windows too. I can imagine that Microsoft will follow Apple's path and will prohibit file system drivers and filters on Windows for these purposes in future releases.
Any hint for future migration if such a situation happens would be appreciated.
Since macOS 11, Apple has updated documentation of the File Provider API which can be used to sync files between client and server and may serve as a replacement for file system drivers. Until this day Apple has not officially announced that functionality on macOS.
The API is similar to the File Provider API that Apple has provided for iOS 11 some time ago but still it has some differences in mostly how main FileProvider class extension works and which abilities it has. There is no examples at this moment that I’ve seen but it looks like this functionality works at least on basic level. Based on what people say on the forums.
On Windows, Microsoft has introduced the Cloud Storage Provider (Cloud Sync Engine) API for Windows 10 in the year 2018 (Windows Creators update). It is used in One Drive for Windows. Here are some examples on GitHub in C++ and in C#.

Can I program eSIM/eUICC devices with Java Applets

From my research on embedded SIM (eSIM) technology, it's a SIM card that the consumer owns and is capable of downloading and switching between 3rd party subscriptions. I've also read it's expected that most eSIMs will run a Java Runtime and support Java applets [1].
Is it possible to program Java applets onto eSIMs, similar to programming a Java smart card?
[1] "EUICC45", https://www.gsma.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/SGP.21_v2.1.pdf
Yes. The active specification.
2.4.11.1 Java Card packages An eUICC supporting Java CardTM SHALL support the Java Packages listed below. The implementation of each
Package SHALL as a minimum be according to the given Package version
and Specification version
Then a list of the supported packages

DS-5 configuration for Cortex-M7

I'm starting my very first project with arm device. Concretely, I'd like to do some image processing on the cortex-M7 programming in C/C++. I got the DS-5 community working just fine and I'm following the basic Hello World tutorial in here: https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/ds-5-development-studio/resources/tutorials/getting-started-with-ds-5-ce-and-armv8-foundation-platform
I'm struggling to accomplish the following:
Get the right toolchain: I got arm-eabi 2.24 from here(http://gnutoolchains.com/download/). Is this what I'm supposed to use? should I use arm-elf instead?
In the tutorial, it describes how to create a debug configuration for a cortex-A9 device. However, I have a cortex-M7. I know I can add a new configuration database from Window>Preferences>DS-5>ConfigurationDatabase. Where can I find the database files for the cortex-M7? I believe those files are available somewhere in the arm site but I can't find them.
Sorry if these questions aren't so interesting... I'm new to this and I need these two problems to be solved in order to start doing some actual work.
If you have ARM DS-5 license, you can send email to support#arm.com for support.
Actually, these kind of questions can be answered from articles of Arm public web sites.

Use Azure IoT Plugin for C within Eclipse

Very new to C, Eclipse, and basically everything else I am trying to work with in this project. I have an Arduino Feather HUZZAH (ESP8266). I have flashed the firmware with the esp_iot_sdk and installed Eclipse on to machine through the unofficial Espressif Dev Kit in order to write the code for the board.
The code I wrote is working well but now I need to find a way to send the collected data to Azure's IoT Hub. I found this plugin for talking to the Azure IoT Hub but cannot figure out how in the world to get it installed using Eclipse.
Even if someone could show me how to get a simple POST request going in C, using a library or not, that would be awesome! Thanks for your help.
So you want to run azure-iot-sdk on ESP8266 with Tensilica Xtensa LX106 MCU.
The first thing you need to do is to port azure-iot-sdk C library to Xtensa platform, using the Espressif Dev Kit toolchain.
Normally, this is officially done by Microsoft. Unfortunately, Xtensa LX106 might not be on the list(roadmap?) yet.
So I think you can do some porting work yourself, following some tutorials from Microsoft. This link works for Linux host, but given that fact that Xtensa toolchain only supports windows for now, you might end up writing some cmd, bat or generic makefile/cmake file, in which you need to have the cross-compile toolchain(aka xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc) specified.
Hopefully, it's not complicated or cumbersome.
After you have done with this, you need some static or dynamic library assembly depending on your settings, the next step is to specify the library path in your eclipse project, and don't forget to include the azure-iot-sdk header folder to your project, as the snapshot shows.
You should be good to go after the above steps.

SIP and ZRTP objective c libraries

I want to use SIP and ZRTP protocols in my application . I have not found one objective c library/framework which has both of these implemented..
Although I'm aware of these protocols that are available separately like idoubs which uses SIP or icall which has ZRTP integration. I also went through the PJSIP - ZRTP integration from the site http://www.zrtp.org/pjsip-integration, but that integration is also somehow not happening. it shows errors
I want to know is there any other available approach to this problem.
EDIT : I have found a couple of more libraries but they all have lots of errors
https://github.com/traviscross/libzrtp
http://www.qutecom.org/browser/verona/oRTP/src/zrtp.c?rev=519
I'm using doubango framework for VoIP and video calling and i want to integrate zrtp for that framework. I'm stuck as to how to implement this feature? Any help would be more than appreciated.
Given that in SIP is media agnostic, why do you need a framework that uses both?
Use whatever ZRTP implementation you like, reserve the ports you need, and give the SIP implementation the constructed SDP for your INVITE.
