The big single advance over the last few months has been Anton's 
implementation of a custom FTDI interface, specifically targeted at 
Android. Now that an Android .apk can be built again, I will try this 
out again. After quite a bit of testing I suspect my Android-to-DC cable 
actually works. Having tested Anton's interface code in Linux, the next 
step is to build the full desktop Subsurface on Android and verify that 
it works in the Android environment (and that the cable works). I have a 
prototype Subsurface-mobile UI written in Kirigami 1 (Dirk has a copy). 
After verifying Anton's FTDI interface on Android, the next step is to 
use this interface from within Subsurface-mobile. And all this has to 
happen without breaking the Subsurface desktop download from DC.

I am diving for the next week, but this will be my priority when I return.

Kind regards,
willem
