Booting from SD card
Could work. Untested: http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/showthread.php?t=289206 Or, if you have a UART available and can disassemble the device: https://github.com/neuschaefer/linux/wiki/Booting-a-Kobo-Aura-from-SD
What does not work
Kernel compilation. The lowest working kernel for postmarketOS is 3.x, while the kobo-aura uses a fork of 2.6.
Notes
- Maybe possible to diff changes between official 2.6 kernel and kobo's fork, create patch, and apply to 3.x to create working kernel? Working on this
- Newer kobo devices run 4.1.15 with a device tree.
- Missing things on top of Mainline kernel for Kobo_Clara_HD_(kobo-clara):
- support for EPDC Versions < 20
- parts of devicetree
