Your project is simpler but it is always easier to remove code than to invent it.
We may have to re-build whatever software(s) they end up using.
The K2 uses the iMX30 SoC (may need to re-build targeting that cpu).
That part I know a little bit about (I'm no twobob, but I can fake it).

I even checked today on a recent Lua binding to LibCairo - Cairo supports a framebuffer surface (and also a png one, I think).
I don't know when Lab126 started shipping Lua on the Kindles, but if it isn't on the K2, we can put it there (Lua is much lighter weight than Python - a good thing for a K2).

If you happen to have a link to information on the serial port of the K2 (other than the one linked to from the K2 index) . . . . .
