A little help for ex-kindle owner
Hi all! I finally purchased a Kobo Glo. Just for a little nostalgia, I'm trying to port the kindle software to the Kobo.
In order to do so I need to fake some hardware and other things... for starting, I'd need the output of the command Code:
cat /proc/board_id Please give me a hand if you can spare a minute |

mmh, google is my friend and I found one, looks like it is quite personal. But maybe I'm wrong.

I am not trying to sound all negative, but that would take a LOT of effort...

Of course distributing the ported OS would require it to be distributed in the form of patch files, so that end users can download a full firmware update from amazon and apply the patches to it to create the ported version for themselves. That would of necessity mean that the 5.3.1 firmware update should be used as a base for the port, because it is the only known "full update" at this time.
