There's a more detailed and up to date mapping of how NTX boards populate this space somewhere, but I can't quite find the link right now.

EDIT: See Andi's notes: https://misc.andi.de1.cc/kobo/

You are correct, apologies, my error on this one....

First:
https://github.com/lgeek/okreader#notes-for-developers

Their first partition starts at 15mb.


Second:
https://misc.andi.de1.cc/kobo/

This one took me a moment to understand just what he is saying....

Which lead me to find the list of sd card offset:

SD_OFFSET_SECS_KERNEL = 2048 * 512 = 1MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_INITRD = 12288 * 512 = 6MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_INITRD2 = 8192 * 512 = 4MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_HWCFG = 1024 * 512 = 0.5MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_WAVEFORM = 14336 * 512 = 7MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_LOGO = 18432 * 512 = 9MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_LOGO2 = 34816 * 512 = 17MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_DTB = 1286 * 512 = 0.5MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_BOOTWAVEFORM = 55296 * 512 = 28MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_NTXFW = 1030 * 512 = 0.5MB
SD_OFFSET_SECS_SNMAC = 1 * 512 = 0.0005MB

So yes there is a bunch of stuff in the "empty space", and thusly yes leave it alone.


Third:
Thanks for providing some links.
I've removed my image for tonight.
I'll reupload it tomorrow once I've removed my serial number from it hehe.
I'll also include instructions on how to set your serial number.

Before anyone asks, I've tried changing the serial number and it still boots just fine, so its not being locked or anything. Just changes what shows up under Device Information.
