Thanks. The serial number from the device info page is N236000000000, however I am fairly sure that comes from the image you sent me. I cannot see the serial number on the case, only a model number N236. I purchased it october 2017, so it must be the old
version.
I compiled the xcsoar distribution and telnet'd in over wifi, cpuinfo is:

version Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 10 (v7l)
BogoMIPS : 790.52
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x2
CPU part : 0xc09
CPU revision : 10

Hardware : Freescale i.MX 6SoloLite NTX Board
Revision : 60200
Serial : 232489d4e31745f3

I assume the problem must be hardware. It has now developed horizontal lines across the screen from where the vertical lines terminate. It is still usable though.I might take it apart and try to air it out.

The kernel in the image you sent me has OTG capability, and I was able to insert the g_ether module and establish a usb link with a linux pc with the ifconfig command. However the modules are in an unusual location, in the /drivers directory, where normally in linux they are in the /lib/modules. I wonder if this image a standard kobo kernel, or one compiled elsewhere?
