Hey. If you've got a #Kobo #ebookreader, I will appreciate if you could extract some information from your device. Currently, I'm contributing to #postmarketOS wiki. Since #onyxboox refuses to release the kernel source code for its devices, I am trying to gather information about different ebook readers with #eink panel. So if someone wanted to mainline a #boox device, they could use drivers from Kobo since they release the kernel source code.
I would really hate my #booxleaf to become useless, because onyx does not give updates anymore nor it releases the kernel source code so the community can provide an alternative OS or ROM. By doing so, not only onyx contributes to #ewaste. But also forces users to change devices like every 2-3 years. Even when the device is working good. Like me device. Needless to mention #GPLViolation here.
I will post about me plans, later, God willing. For now, I am optimistic about mainlining me device and also #BooxPage. Because both use Snapdragon which has good support in mainline, it's an ebook reader so you don't need to add support for modem and GPU, and the Carta 1200 screen used in these two devices are also used in other e-book readers such as Kobo.
BTW, boosts appreciated! If you haven't got a wiki account, you can ping me and I can add the information :)
Edit: Thank you so much. There are 40 boosts so far. I wanted to say if you got other ebook readers with eink which they release the kernel source code, feel free to add them to the wiki, too.

The work of informal e-waste dismantlers in the Philippines, who scavenge electronic waste for the nickel, aluminum and copper inside, releases a toxic brew of chemicals including lead, mercury and cadmium into the air. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/29/sustainability/philippine-e-waste-dismantle-health/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #philippines #ewaste #pollution #health

Hello, Fediverse. I'm looking for embedded experts to help save #LEGO MINDSTORMS!
Background: https://pybricks.com/project/saving-lego-mindstorms/
I've made major progress, but I'd love to get some help! If writing an SPI flash driver or USB device implementation is your thing, I would love to hear from you 😀
I'll gladly donate an EV3 set for this. We can do this as a paid project too if that's a better fit. Let's discuss!
