Buteo Sync Solution
The Buteo Sync solution is a complete solution that broadly provides the following synchronization services:
- Device to device synchronization of PIM data (Contacts and Calendar for now) based on SyncML
- Device to cloud synchronization of PIM data (ovi.com, Scheduleworld.com etc.) based on SyncML
- Synchronization of media content to PC based on MTP
- Device to PC synchronization (currently only OviSuite, but this requires contract with OviSuite to support a particular device)
In order to cater to the above service, the following components are available in the Buteo Sync solution:
- Synchronization Framework - a generic framework providing a pluggable architecture.
- SyncML stack - a OMA DS 1.1 and 1.2 compliant SyncML stack
- MTP stack - A Media Transfer Protocol 1.0 compliant MTP implemenation.
- Sync plugins - a syncml sync plugin and a MTP sync plugin that hook into the synchronization framework
All the above components make up the Buteo Sync solution with the capability of being extended to accommodate more protocols. Refer to the individual pages to understand more about the individual components
Buteo Sync Features
Buteo Sync is not just a sync solution that depends on SyncML, but provides a whole range of Sync features independent of the protocol and the data to be synchronized. Following are the high level end-user features supported by Buteo:
- Synchronization of Google contacts (based on SyncML)
- Contacts, Calendar, Notes sync with Mobilcal.net
- Contacts, Calendar, Notes sync with memotoo.com
- Contacts, Calendar, Notes sync with scheduleworld.com
- Any standard SyncML service
The MTP stack is made public, but the integration with the functionfs driver is being worked on and should soon be available. There are other plug-ins planned for Buteo in future (flickr, facebook etc.)
