Comparison between the Samsung Smart Tv features SEF and PNaCL

Is it possible to develop a Samsung Smart TV Native application using a lower level API than PNaCL, which I suspect is just JavaScript via pepper.js?

Samsung does not provide much information on how they implement their NaCL "native" development. PNaCL is the only somewhat documented method, but I came across this "SEF plugin" that supposedly connects JS to "low-level C++ modules" according to the documentation, without much explanation.

There may not be an SEF development platform. Just making sure I haven't misunderstood anything.

Answer №1

In the realm of technology, PNaCl operates similarly to a module that is capable of running in C/C++ Runtime, ultimately providing superior performance compared to JavaScript runtimes on the web.

While I cannot give an exact answer, this is my interpretation of the situation. Since the SEF functions more as a system object interface, it must be compiled with firmware. Although the SEF may be considered "inferior" to PNaCl, it seems unlikely that we would be able to develop our own SEF plugin unless Samsung were to release the source code and provide instructions for flashing the firmware akin to Android devices.

                   |                               ||
                   |                               \/
