get hardware config from original kobo mini (sd card is mmcblk1)
dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=kobo_mini_hw_config.img skip=524272 bs=1 count=67

write hw-config to your kobo-image
dd if=kobo_mini_hw_config.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 seek=524272 bs=1

you can find compiled stuff here :
http://78.20.2.172:8080/uImage
http://78.20.2.172:8080/u-boot_mddr_...K4X2G323PC.bin

write U-boot
dd if=u-boot_mddr_256-E50610-K4X2G323PC.bin skip=2 of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=2

write kernel
dd if=uImage of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=2048

touchscreen works OK

could not access the vfat partition, but you can mount it within android.
