Hi davidfor, could I also get a a copy of the Aura H2O image?
Recently got my hands on a Kobo Aura (N514) but it is unresponsive. Looking at the output of u boot over UART, it looks like the kernel is corrupt:
Code:
...
MMC read: dev # 2, block # 2048, count 8192 partition # 0 ...
8192 blocks read: OK

Data Size: 1949916 Bytes = 1.9 MB
Load Address: 70008000

uncompression error

The "uncompression error" is something I have seen on other linux systems when the os image is corrupted or fails a crc-32 checksum.
A quick search in this thread and others (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=286314) gives me hope that the H2O image should work with my N514.
I can confirm that holding the light button when powering on the N514 does appear to cause it to attempt to boot from the SD card. This appears in the u boot output with the light+power button combo:
Code:
...
MMC read: dev # 2, block # 1024, count 1 partition # 0 ...
1 blocks read: OK
