On the subject of EON Steel.

Could you try to hook up the EON Steel against a Android device?

Just add the usb-id's in android/res/xml/device_filter.xml and build
yourself a Android version and try it. 

It "should just work"<tm> but who knows what will break and how.

The ui is bit... challenging to say the least, but you're a computer guy
and should be able to figure it out =)
