![]() ![]() ![]() That is not in the N2/N2+ kernels I tested with. The scsi modules also, except for kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.ko. fs modules on the working device are all on the N2 as well. So is it then something in the builtin modules?Ĭode: Select all cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.builtinīut it's difficult to know what to look for. I've not seen any modules being loaded on the the working ARM machines when plugging in the Kobo reader. sd 1:0:0:0: Attached SCSI removable disk sd 1:0:0:0: Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA sd 1:0:0:0: Power-on or device reset occurred scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kobo eReader- 0110 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 ![]() usb-storage 1-1.3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected usb 1-1.3: SerialNumber: N5-edited-for-privacy-96 usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=2237, idProduct=4224, bcdDevice= 1.10 usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd sd 1:0:0:0: Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=0x01 driverbyte=0x00 On a working ARM machine, it says this in dmesg:Ĭode: Select all usb 1-1.3: USB disconnect, device number 7 Kobo is sort-of the European Kindle, so it's a big brand, well sold kinda thing. So this looks to me like the complete Kobo ereader product line is probably not supported? I tried a basic Kobo Touch 1, Kobo Touch 2 and a high-end top-of-the-line new Kobo Forma. ![]() Also Manjaro KDE, also 64b, non-ARM obviously. Same ereader, same cable on a certain Fruity 4 ARM device (kernel 5.4.51) and a Pro64 ARM device with a rather cone-shaped logo (5.7.0) both running Manjaro ARM KDE, all on 64bits kernels. I tried both tobetters kernel 5.7.14 and Manjaro's 5.7.10. No showing up on lsusb, not on dmesg, not on journalctl. What should happen is that it is recognized, on the reader shows a window asking to connect, you connect, you get a usb device folder to drop your ebooks onto.īut connecting it to both the N2 (Manjaro) and N2+ (tobetter's ubuntu image), nothing. The kobo reader does start charging though, so there is power. It's a USB linked device, I plug it in, nothing happens. The thing is, it doesn't connect to the N2. Hopefully the trend of plastic-based screens catches on because lighter is better, and with a lighter screen battery sizes could be increased to improve the drop in overall battery life with the prevalence of frontlights and wireless features that come standard on most ebook readers these days.So, I have a kobo ereader. But will they? So far there has been no indication of any new devices getting released soon with 8-inch or smaller plastic-based screens. The Kobo Forma was released in October 2018 so there’s been plenty of time for other companies to start replicating its unique features. In fact it’s lighter than some ebook readers with 6-inch glass-backed screen, like the Kindle Paperwhite 3 for example. It’s the first ebook reader to feature an 8-inch 300 ppi Mobius Carta E Ink screen, and it’s also one of the first ereaders under 10″ to have a flexible plastic-backed screen, which helps make it lighter and a lot more durable than typical ebook readers with glass screens.īecause of the plastic-based screen the Kobo Forma is remarkably lightweight for its size. As noted in an earlier article, the Kobo Forma is surprisingly nice ebook reader despite some minor faults. ![]()
