- someone managed to flash a v3ext with a suitably hacked v3+ firmware, which tells me that maybe, just maybe a very late v3 EABI SDK might work on the v3+. It'd probably lack the ability to control the famous 16 shades of grey of the v3+ but then so does - to some extent - the Java VM. It all depends what the hacking consisted of - if it meant replacing the display driver, then of course this alternative won't work.
- there's a linked repository with lots of versions of the Tirwal and OpenInkpot firmwares. I wonder if I could flash one of those and develop for it instead of the original WolfLinux? Of course I know next to nothing about them, but I'm pretty good with C and Linux, so I'd probably would be able to cope. But since I can only find on the Internet indications that they "don't yet work" on v3+, maybe they really never did? OTOH if these firmwares don't have a v3+ version, then maybe there never was such a thing as a public v3+ SDK?
- a combination of the above: perhaps I should try to flash a regular v3ext firmware and expect it to work? I'd lose whatever extra features the v3+ had, but I never found myself using any of those. Then I'd only need a late v3 SDK ...
Bottom line, I'm now extending my request to include an as-late-as-possible v3 SDK, because I only have the first/earliest version. Thanks in advance for any kind of help.
