The main issue with this is that a Kindle is not a typical Linux environment; they use heavily patched kernels that range from old to hideously old depending on the age of the device, have a severely stripped down userspace similar to most other embedded devices and it's a pain to set up the development tools needed to compile software against the various libc/kernel versions used across the Kindle family.
- regularfry 6y agoThat's fine if you're using the built-in kernel as a souped-up display driver. All you need is a way to make pixels happen, the rest can happen off-device.
- krzyk 6y agoExactly I'm in a process of turning one Kindle into a openhab panel. I failed a bit during the soldering part (the pads got unglued, so now I need to push hard a conductive cable, until I get wifi and ssh up and working). This post will greatly help me because I mostly need that: wifi and ssh working (and then make the pixels happen :), but I saw a solution for that on mobileread forums).
