I don't recall reading of one.

But nearly all of the DX(G) postings where before I joined, so I could easily have missed it.

But back to your question - I think it would be a good idea that we add one, if the factory didn't already ship us one on the device.

And maybe a DX(G) version of the Coward's Rescue Pack to match.

The diags partition is quite small (24Mbyte) and /var/local is even smaller (8Mbyte), see:

(open the spoiler)

In my thread "ARMhf for Kindles" (or something like that - 'tutorial') I give examples of building executibles that use modern software version and run from USBstorage - without touching the Amazon install.

The point here is not hard float, but that things are built to use a modern libc version that lives in /mnt/us (user storage).
It could just as well use musl.
