I've looked a little further. Although there's a forth interpreter included on the SD Card, this is really only for testing purposes. Most of the code is written in C or python.
The device has a tiny boot loader that load the actual kernal from the SD Card, so to make a Project Gutenberg SD Card you need to compile a special KERNAL.ELF file.
It looks fascinating. The screen is only 240x202, but a monochrome LCD is usually quite readable. I'm very tempted to get one just to play with.
