The Yocto layer is at https://github.com/kevinior/meta-kobo-clara-hd It's built on top of NXP's imx-linux Yocto stuff, I'm planning to try to get rid of that and just use a standard Yocto release. That should allow upgrading to a current Yocto version too.

The main purpose for all this was to build my own Home Assistant dashboard running on the Clara, without any leftover Kobo software getting in the way. You can find HAslate here: https://github.com/kevinior/haslate

Many thanks to andi45 for his patched kernels with Clara HD support.
Nice! I tried to build Yocto a while ago for the Mini and hadn't had much success. I may look at what you've done and see if I can learn things from there.
I find out though that native Alpine is enough on my Mini for InkBox.
