The new version of Nanodesktop SDK (Software Development Kit) is
online and downloadable here:

This new version of the system adds a new HAL (Hardware Abstraction
Layer) called HAL CFW. It is designed for custom firmwares, either on
PSP-FAT or on PSP-SLIM. Now, the nd applications can work on
every PSP. The new HAL has been tested on custom firmware version
3.71 M33-4 (in PSP-FAT or in PSP-SLIM).

Here is the new user guide, with hundreds of how-to:

The new distribution adds the support for ndSQLLite (a library that
manages database), ndSIFT (an alghoritm that allows the recognition
of an object), and ndGOCR (a reimplementation of GNU OCR, that can
work on PSP).

We have fixed hundreds of bugs.

The system now supports the Sony GoCam, and not only the Eyeserver
tecnology. In the guide you can find some example about the use of
the GoCam with few rows of code.

Remember that, all applications that are developed on CFW HAL, must
be accomplished with the "kernel extender": it is a driver called
ndKrnExtender_v1.Prx and it must be copied in the root folder of
the memory stick before starting the new nd application.

You can find the kernel extender in the download page of the Visilab
website.

New version of the SDK supports also ndHAL_SystemExec to load another
homebrew from a homebrew, the pseudoExec function to make easier the
porting of software and libraries that have been originally developed for
PC, and a faster version of Nanodesktop graphical system.

The multimedia features include support for WAV and MP3 decoding via
Media Engine (hardware accelerated).

The engine for Text-To-Speech synthesis is ndFLite.
