Introduction

In order to have a LV2 plugin running in a MOD Device you'll need the following:

  1. Understand the very basics of LV2
  2. Create a new LV2 plugin
  3. Get the build tools
  4. Create your project make files
  5. Compile it
  6. Deploy it
  7. Publish it

Let's dive in.

Basics of LV2

Create a new LV2 plugin

TODO: add samples

Get the build tools

A LV2 plugin is just a binary. However to run in a MOD Device it must be compiled using a cross-compiler targeting that particular hardware and software (libraries). Luckily this process has been made easy. All you need is to clone MOD Plugin Builder and follow the instructions. 

$ git clone https://github.com/moddevices/mod-plugin-builder
$ ./bootstrap.sh

Create your project make files

mod-plugin-builder is based on Buildroot which requires you to create make files that indicate how you plugin should be built. You must have a {projectname}.mk file in mod-plugin-builder/plugins/package/{projectname} folder.
