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. |
Interesting project. Nice to see some progress. Basically what is new on my side:
There is a kobo/merged-5.11 branch now, a basic charger/fuel gauge driver is upstreamed, I am working on replacing the fbdev driver with a drm driver. Then it can use standard interfaces for updating contents and does not need the special nxp one. For now it works well with some IMX6SL readers, for the Kobo Clara HD it needs some tweaking.
