The new release of Nanodesktop library, the SDK for development of
portable applications on PSPE/PSP has been released and it is ready
for download at the Visilab server.
This version of the SDK introduces new tecnologies that have been
used also for the known Nanodesktop Blind Assistant program.
In particular:
- it introduces the support for the internet connections, through an API that
makes easier to write network software for the PSP;
- the libraries ndCurl and ndGCurl, that manage network connections
(with a graphical feedback) and file transfers;
- the CvAux algorithms in the ndOpenCV library (in these routines there are
also the tecnologies for face recognition, as PCA/EigenFaces or Hidden
Markov Model used in Blind Assistant);
- the new audio system EAS (Envelope Audio System), an API that allows
to generate all sounds with a frequency bounded between 8 Khz and
48 Khz;
- the new MEDIA API, that allows to the programmer to decode WAV or MP3
sample without using the main processor (the software uses Sony Media
Engine for decoding), without using external libraries, and through a single
row of code;
- the engine of vocal synthesis ndFLite, based on a port of the engine FLite
originally released by the Carnegie Mellon University
- a better NanoC library
The documentation has been updated. From Visilab website you can
download a doc of two hundreds of pages that illustrates the fundamental
features of the graphical system. This is only a small part of all
features that nd offers to its users, but we are working to extend the
doc even more in a near future. The doc is in any case sufficient to
create the first applications.
The downloads can be done here:

There is also a new package for Blind Assistant that could be easier
to install.
Thank you for your interest
