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.
- Possibly things can be patched on top of the mainlining work done for the Kobo_Clara_HD_(kobo-clara)
