Pocketbook 622 support ?

[JocelynDelalande]

I'm using a pocketbook 622. It seems unsupported (I followed installation instructions, and nothing happen when i run the app from the device).

Any plan to support it ? Any lead so that I can add the support myself ?

Hi, If I'm not mistaken, 622 is the first Pocketbook Touch (not even "Lux")? I've never seen one, I think; and I have no idea how to develop an app on this one. I've some experience with the Touch Lux 1 (must be a 623) and I think the current version of Plop Reader won't work on it, because:

• The CPU is an older ARM version than the one in the Touch Lux 3 (and I compiled the app for that one, as it's what I use)
• The Firmware must be some 4.x version, while the app is compiled for a 5.x version

Actually, for 4.x firmware, the SDK is not the same as the one for 5.x firmware -- and maybe some libs (like curl, sqlite, ...) I used in the app are not present in the 4.x FW.

I pretty much don't plan on supporting either old models nor old firmwares. But if you want to try taking a look at what might be possible, a start could be there: Firmware 4.x -- that repo contains some doc on how to develop for Pocketbook ereaders (I started writing these docs before starting coding Plop Reader, and a friend made a PR a while back to document stuff for FW 4.x)

Thanks for all this valuable input. I'll give it a try :-)
