1. Firebird will be running on the device, not on the host machine. Is
this correct?

2. If you need ODS compatibility it whould mean Firebird is on the host
(Linux or Windows) machine. (2) conflicts with (1). May be you need
filesystem compatibility, but the ODS will be bound to the Firebird
version running on your device.
