Hi there.

Has anyone managed to compile and build a Kindle 2 firmware?

I downloaded the source code, but there's a fair amount of stuff missing before you can start compiling...

I made the mistake of upgrading to 2.0.3 and then realised I couldn't do USB tethering anymore ...
I'd like to downgrade, or better compile my own firmware. I'm quite familiar with the ARM architecture

Any hints would be appreciated.
Cheers
Jean-Yves
