SDK for PB626?

[brucelee]

Does anyone know which SDK should I use to compile Coolreader3 for PB626 (touch lux 2)?
I'd like to try and improve some things about it but I can't figure which SDK to use.

Thanks.

ANSWER:

SDK for 360 and PRO devices: https://sourceforge.net/projects/poc...SDK_Linux_1.1/
- For 360 use the PBSDK dir from the archive
- For PRO use the FRSCSDK dir from the archive (use this one for PB626 with FW4)

SDK for PRO devices with FW5: https://github.com/pocketbook-free/SDK_481

Also here's the pbsdk-linux-1.1.0.deb that many are searching for.

The answer is a bit complicated. The last released SDK is for devices with firmware version 5. The 626 uses firmware version 4, so you need to use the older SDK 1.1a (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pock...SDK_Linux_1.1/.
However, that SDK was released in 2011, and some things changed since then in firmware version 4. Support for multi-touch events was added after, and the configuration data structure got a new member added. If you don't want to access the stuff that changed, then you can just use SDK 1.1a. If you do, you'll have to hack things. You can either update the main inkview.h header file in the old SDK with the new stuff (using the header file in the latest SDK), or you can hack your application code to work around the changes (as I did in pbimageviewer.app).

PB626 has FW 5.2 since December 2014 (http://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/sup...ok-touch-lux-2) but I downgraded to 4.4 because the library has no "Open with" and it ignores the extensions.cfg.
Meanwhile, I managed to compile some CoolReader variant (http://sourceforge.net/p/crengine/cr...i/master/tree/) using the older 1.0 SDK (http://pocketbook-free.sourceforge.net/en/sdk.shtml).
It doesn't seem to be the coolreader I would've wanted. Not even close to pkb's port v0.0.6-16.
I think I'll have to contact pkb for the source.

Thanks for the reply. I'll upgrade the SDK to 1.1a. And thanks for pbimageviewer.

Edit:
Since we're to it. Where would I get the SDK for firmware 5?

Here you go: https://github.com/pocketbook-free/SDK_481

I tested firmware 5 on my Inkpad, and extensions.cfg worked there, but it just took the first entry in the list for each file type (without giving you an option to choose). I went back to firmware 4, as well.

P.S. I haven't tested the latest SDK, as is. It looks like it was just a file dump from one of the developers at PocketBook. If you try it, let us know if it works. Since my builds of pbimageviewer are based on sergeyvl's Makefile system (rather than cmake), and I need 64-bit tools, I had to create my own new SDK based on the header files and libraries in SDK_481.

You need to checkout the pocketbook-port branch i.e http://sourceforge.net/p/crengine/cr...book-port/tree. I do not merge changes to the master.

Thanks.
