If you wish + to use other drivers or cross compile, check build-dpf-lcd4linux.sh + for configure options + +* Note: For lcd4linux, you may want to have some development libraries + installed, for example: + libgd2-noxpm-dev -- to display images + +* Build the stuff using "make all".

Please don't ask +questions when it will be released, it will happen, once we have a fully +fool proof and working firmware including boot loader support (if you can +help there, let us know). + +Also note: NO SUPPORT!
