Say that I have a Mark 7 device...
Geek1011's site says that if the "7th digit of your serial number" is a 2, it's a Aura 2 v2, but that's confusing. The serial number I have is 13 characters, and the 7th char is a 0, and the 8th is a 2. The problem is he said "digit", not "character", and he's a dev so I assume he said what he meant and the N at the front of the serial number doesn't count. Either way, geek1011's description wasn't very good.
But taking the back side of the case off pretty much seals the deal. I have an IMX6L SoC. That means I have an Aura 2 v2, not an Aura 2 v1. |
I stand by my use of the 7th CHARACTER being a 2 for a Mark 7 device. As for the SoC, the mark 7 devices use an i.MX 6SLL -- the one in my Clara HD is labelled as MCIM6V7VD10AB which NXP identifies as a commercial grade i.MX 6SLL (the first V) with an EPDC controller (the 7 following the first V). A chip labelled as MCIM6L7 OR MCIM6L8 is a i.MX 6SoloLite (SL) with an EPDC controller.

Looking at my notes file, I previously downloaded and installed the image using this URL: "http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwares/kobo6/December2016/kobo-update-.zip"
Which says kobo6.
I know the Wiki is out of date, and it has other mistakes such as the minimum software level, but now I'm wondering what firmware I'm actually supposed to be running.

From your chip marking and serial number, mark 6. You have an Aura 2 v1.
Good luck!
