Languages That Can Be Used

Nathan Campos · 11-09-2010, 01:55 PM

Hello,
I have the first Kindle DX model(not the black one, but the white) and I want to know which languages I can use to do some Kindle hacking. I know C/C++ very well, but I don't want to use them. So, there is any alternative?

Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

Java (Java ME) according to KDK.

I saw the announcement too, but it would work on my Kindle DX with 2.5.4?

The KDK has been available since FW 2.4, so, yes.

If you want to do things the hard way, you can pretty much do anything you want, provided you kill the framework beforehand and handle the screen & input yourself. (ie. the FW 3.x browser uses DirectFB, and there's a QtE port somewhere here, and the duokan 'fw' is a bunch of C & shell tools).
