Kobo Codenames

geek1011 · 12-08-2019, 08:31 PM

Here's a chart I've put together with the three-layered codename scheme used for Kobo devices. It includes the device name, hardware revision, year, ID, and the three codenames.

Note that the firmware's Device::is* functions match any of the three codenames for a device, and so do the CSS queries in nickel. That's why in quite a few disassembled functions, you see nested if statements based on the Device::is* functions.

For more info, see here, here, and here.

I did put this chart together by hand (rather than automating it), so tell me if I made any typos (the linked pages have the original info).

And sorry mods, I know the image is a bit oversized, but you never saw it...

The second link in the trio is not working though if I modify the geek1011 to pgaskin it seems to work

Hmm, tantalizing. Can we perhaps assume:

Code:

| ? | ? | 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000392 | Kobo Libra BW
| ? | ? | 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000692 | Tolino vision BW
