Nope. Illegal instruction on the K1, though it does work on my PW3 (just like your previous version).

Also, I tried running K1 /bin/busybox on both K1 and PW3. It runs on the K1, but fails ("Illegal instruction") on the PW3. Now, if you can just make it blow up on the PW3, maybe it will work on the K1?

How can something compiled for armv4l that works on an xscale arm5te processor get an "Illegal instruction" on an i.MX6 SoC? That just seems strange...

But with K1 busybox failing on a PW3, there is not much hope of any simple way to build binary code that runs on all the kindles. All these "Illegal instruction" traps (especially when migrating old code to new kindle models) is more than a little puzzling, indeed...
