Must be an engineering change (I have a first day of release PW-3).

I never recorded the engineering change level information on my board, but may have captured it in one of the photos in my "Exploring the PW-3" thread.

Try reading a book with that PW-3 - -
It IS a nice display.
I tried all the switch pads on mine, and none of them work, which is why I suspect they are not connected (missing resistor, at least). I wonder what those missing CRxxx devices are?

I was just searching for a mobi copy of the "Linux Kernel Module Programmers Guide" (which I have been reading on occasion on my Galaxy Note 4 phone), to put on this device. I certainly loved my PW1 before it emancipated itself, so a PW3 should provide a great reading pleasure. The touchscreen might be more stable when just reading -- we shall see.

But reading LKMPG will just make me more annoyed that nothing I compile works on my K1 -- it needs some new kernel modules more than any other of my devices (no g_ether.ko). Even linking to the K1 libraries did not work for me, neither static nor dynamic.

FYI, I did get a basic (crude) shell working with only shared files (using a host PC talking to a VM over shared files). I did not port it to my K1 yet because I think making /mnt/us writable from both sides of a USBMS share is asking for file system corruption (both sides writing to the directory structure). Perhaps it would be okay with fixed-size preallocated files though, but my scripts just append new data (at this point). Even working, it would not support interactive things like nano, so I have not spent that much time at it -- I prefer to get working USB networking on it (hence a kernel module). Though I would be immensely happy at this point if I could get get a simple hello.c proggie running on my K1.
