The USB drive path will not be the same on the 825 Gen2. Search the project for the string "/mnt/fl1" to find any code that should be changed. The library lib825ev has a function called [wiki:Docs/Prog/Manual/ApplicationLibraries/lib825ev/File/FindFlashDrive FindFlashDrive] for the 825 Gen2 to get the path string. The path may be similar to "/run/media/sda1" but it is best to use the !FindFlashDrive function instead of a hard coded path.

Many legacy apps do not allow for enough space to display the AM/PM labels. So slight modification of the date/time display code may be needed to accommodate 12 hour time.

Also (probably rare) if the app communicates with another system by serial port, network, or file import/export that interprets the data content as binary integers, floats, etc... it may be necessary to make changes to account for different [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness endianness]. The 825 Gen2 is ARM-64 little-endian, The Legacy 825 is Coldfire big-endian.
