So since you linked the apps to the library, will that text app actually run on the reader? One would think you would have to set up an ARM compiler toolchain and compile that library with ARM9 (proper chip) as the cpu target before beeing able to use it on device native apps?

I guess I just dont understand what you can do with the little SDK if it is not compiled for ARM to run on the reader. Is there a emulator? Does it run on the reader? I dont understand.

Once me and my friend have a worked development environment we will post a package and instructions so any programmer can get up and running making custom apps for the reader.
