On kernel etc. I am probably the wrong person to ask. I am just playing around here. Having said that, I used lonetechs qemu image to compile my python for 903/m92. It seems that the binaries run easily on both. "Of course" this is only for command line scripts - from what I understand the screen drivers are incompatible.
Hence I thought about maybe building (or porting) a web based pdfviewer. The idea is to have a local python based webserver that parses the pdf, generates an image and serves that out to the browser. One could probably add little functions like zoom and embolden. But I don't see an easy way for annotations (I would guess that the pan by pen on the m92 would interfere with scribbling).
Just my 2 cents. |
I just bought my M92 and I am actually quite frustrated about the openness of the device. One can find some traces of a community and an SDK on the web, but it looks as if the community is dead.
The readme file on
https://github.com/onyx-intl/booxsdk contains various dead links. They mention the sites booxusers.com and onyxcommunity.com. Both do not exist anymore, as it seems.
lunohod said that you can flash a custom firmware, but it is not documented anywhere how this should be done.
Does anybody know if onyx plans to eventually release an SDK for the M92?
I really like the M92 a lot, but I think I will send it back if I am not able to run custom applications on it.
