The journey to running Nerves on a Kobo Clara e-reader

It is fine for now, but indeed, I could create a mix task that:

  • Connects to the Kobo through ssh
  • Copies what is need in the firmware’s rootfs_overlay on the host
  • Packages the firmware with the copied blobs
  • Sends the firmware at the right place on the Kobo
  • Deals with init script updates if any (I could package my init script as an elixir dep)

That is way more elegant than what I’m doing for now indeed :thinking:

Thanks for the suggestion! That would indeed make all this more “production ready” for folks that want to buy a Clara Colour to play with Nerves.
