Arch on Kobo Touch?

Postby JustSomeGeek » Mon Nov 01, 2021 1:15 am

Hi all,

I followed a guide a few years ago and got Debian ARM running on a Kobo Touch e-reader
(Freescale i.MX508 - Cortex-A8)

Has anyone shoehorned Arch onto one before?

From Wikipedia page: "The i.MX508 processor is the result of Freescale collaboration with E Ink. It is dedicated for eReaders. Launched in 2010, it integrates the E Ink display controller within the silicon to save both BOM cost and space on the PCB. It especially supports LP-DDR2 SDRAM at 400 MHz"

What does this mean in respect of graphics drivers? Should it just be recognised at boot, and a defaut driver installed?

Thanks!
