And my usual USBNet tools (e.g., tmux, screen & co) live in the Core KoboStuff package on Kobo .
Wow, that's definitively what I've been looking for.
Just played around with it and what I love most about it is the input from stdin mode. So I no longer need screen and the like ... but can directly use my keyboard.

With this setup, my standard use case is very well covered:
  1. pair a bluetooth keyboard with my mobile phone
  2. use Androids 'Termux' app to ssh into Kobo (usbnet)
  3. create another ssh session from 'InkVT' to my real target client in the same net
  4. so I can be almost anywhere out there: armed with a working terminal and no need for a powersupply to adminstrate whatever I want

Love it, thanks for the work to all involved.

However, being for the first time confronted with the need to build with the Kobo stack, I think there is a steep learning curve for those who just wan't to play with it. And many blockers for those who do not natively use a linux. So I try to share at least the ZIP which I've built today if anyone want's to try. I used it on Kobo Libra H20 (4.25.x) without major issues.
