Both Hawhill and GM have mentioned using that device, maybe they would like to let the Kindle kernel be the NBD server. |
Nah, that's the "client side", i.e. the part that lets the kernel speak over network and present a block device. But thanks for noticing :-) On the Kindle, I do not see low-hanging fruits yet which would involve it. Servers can be (and usually are) userland programs. After all, they are just network servers.
(Short background: The k3flasher tool has a mode in which it presents the flash storage of a connected Kindle 3 via an NBD server. I used that because it is a dead-simple API to create a block device in userspace. Kind of a BUSE - block device in userspace, see FUSE for how I made that acronym up).
Though great progress here. I was thinking about creating a pure "open" Kindle OS, too (involving kindlepdfreader, simply since I know it well). But then, time...
