Adding Programs to the v3 or v5

slm · 10-15-2009, 04:24 PM

It appears to be possible to write programs directly for the Hanlin v3 and v5 (which are the same as the EZ Reader and Pocket Pro). (See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59191 for one such program.)

There are a bunch of obvious utilities it would be useful to have on the EZ Reader and the Pocket Pro. For example, a program that lets you select a file on the device or SD card and delete or rename it, or a program that lets you convert from one format to another. (While I'm wishing how about a port of the Calibre conversion tools!!)

I don't really know how realistic this is, or even in what language this stuff is written in. Do the v3 and v5 have a version of Python, for example?

Does anyone have any useful knowledge on how to do all this that they are willing to share?

Jinke has a SDK for the Hanlin V3 on their website that you can download, but you need a linux machine to run it on and the documentation seems a little skimpy. I don't think they have one for the V5 yet. I think that anything that would run on the V3 should work on the EZReader 6".
