Hi,
I also want to turn my Kobo mini into a Linux tablet but just dumping the image from mareks website onto a 16GB SD Card doesn't work. After Running ntx_hwconfig commands via telnet on th Kobo I figured yout that PCB is "E50610" and RAMType is "K4X2G323PC" ... but I don't know if that's important, maybe mareks image doesn't fit to my hardware.
After downloading and extracting mareks image I disk-dumped it on the memory card via
"dd if=2013-08-17_kobo_debian.img of=/dev/mmcblk0"
But when I insert the card and boot the kobo, the screen only flashes the LED turnes from green to blue and back to blinking green and that's it ... It's not booting to debian :-(
Does anyone know what might be the problem or supply me with an image that runs on the kobo mini? Thanks very much!
BTW: The Idea is to connect a GPS module to the serial port of the kobo (Which I allready did successfully with using the xcsoar software for paragliding) and run navit [1] on the device to use as a bicycle computer for my trip next week. I basically only need a moving map application which showes the planned track I want to ride.
