Nix expressions for tools for the reMarkable tablet

This repository consolidates Nix tooling for developing for the reMarkable tablet, supporting both versions 1 and 2.

Currently, it includes both a nixpkgs cross configuration for the reMarkable, and Nix expressions for various tools, currently including:

• mxc_epdc_fb_damage
• libqsgepaper-snoop
• rM-input-devices
• rM-vnc-server
• gst-libvncclient-rfbsrc

To build a local copy of the above packages, create a pkgs/ directory, clone the relevant repository into it, and run nix build in the resulting subdirectory.

To build release copies of any of the projects, run nix build --arg release true -f . <attribute path> from this repo (without needing to manually download anything else), where <attribute path> is one of:

• rmPkgs.linuxPackages.mxc_epdc_fb_damage
• rmPkgs.libqsgepaper-snoop
• rmPkgs.rM-input-devices
• rmPkgs.rM-vnc-server
• hostPkgs.gst-libvncclient-rfbsrc

To develop your own packages for the reMarkable, use the rm1Pkgs or rm2Pkgs attributes of the set computed in default.nix as a nixpkgs appropriately configured for cross-compilation (e.g. its stdenv.mkDerivation will generate derivations that cross-build for the reMarkable).
