Status
Analysis of original software: this device is shipped with Linux 3.0.35, which may be acceptable to port. However, the mainlining effort mentioned above as well as the successful mainline port of the Kobo Clara HD (kobo-clara) shows promise for this device. This device is also shipped with u-boot 2009.08, which is extremely old, meaning that we will likely need to mainline u-boot support. Some work has been started here which is heavily based on the work already done on the Kobo Clara HD. Any help would be appreciated, especially with mainlining u-boot.
