<p>I got myself into the weird world of hacking ereaders a while back. Most Kobo products are just poorly secured Linux machines. These projects abuse various aspects of the firmware upgrade process to load custom code onto my ereader.</p>

|
|
<p><code>kobo-rs</code> 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.</p>
|
|
<p>This is my current core Kobo library used in various other (mostly private) projects.</p>

<p>This project contains some of my earlier Kobo tweaks and tools, and was used as my initial bootstrapping environment for later work.</p>

<p>The KoboSSH project contains the tools needed to compile <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html">dropbear</a> for the <code>arm-kobo-linux-gnueabihf</code> system (all recent Kobo products). This binary is used for root shell access on Kobo devices which, in my case, is used to deploy and debug software on e-readers.</p>

<p>KoLib is a modern C++ library to assist in development of software targeting Kobo products. This project was superseded by my Kobo Rust library.</p>
