kobo-rs is a minimal Rust library for interacting with modified Kobo e-readers. This is designed for use in applications running on the Kobo, not over the network.
Since we are cross-compiling (please don't try compiling software on a Kobo), we need a few tools.
docker pull ewpratten/kobo-cross-armhf:latest
cargo install crossWith that out of the way, the library can be built with:
cross build --target arm-unknown-linux-musleabihfYou'll need to do these same steps with your own applications.
To build and run the display example, you'll need to do the following:
cross build --target arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf --release --example displayThen, copy the binary to the Kobo's internal storage and execute the following command on the device:
/mnt/onboard/display
