zimserver and qtwikipedia need updating

[cowpod]

File wikipedia_en_simple_all_nopic_2021_02.zim fails to open with error emssage "zim: unsupported cluster compression". It appears that zimserver needs to be rebuilt from https://github.com/tim-st/go-zim to support these newer zim files, but I do not know how to compile zimserver for arm.

Remarkable 2, 2.5.1.45

I've compiled the latest zimserver, and replaced the binary at /usr/bin/zimserver. Wikipedia does load, however the app itself is unusable; large pieces of text are missing, and the keyboard for the search bar never shows up.

Is there a way to get logs?

On remarkable v2 this is a known issue with the frame buffer driver (it doesn’t display blue text). I will take a look at a fix tomorrow

The version on the "blacklinks" branch now renders the links and keyboard correctly on rm2 but there's quite a bit more work to make this rm2 ready given it relies pretty heavily on the hardware keys on rm1. I'll work on it this week.

I also haven't been able to get an external SD card working with rm2 so we're limited to zim files that fit on the local storage. I therefore am considering making this proxy real wikipedia over the network from the web on rm2 rather than rely on the local server.

Would love to hear any feedback on what you'd like in that regard.

FYI What I tried to get sdard working:

• Put the USB port into host mode

  reMarkable: ~/ cat /sys/kernel/debug/ci_hdrc.0/role 
  gadget
  reMarkable: ~/ echo host > /sys/kernel/debug/ci_hdrc.0/role
  reMarkable: ~/ cat /sys/kernel/debug/ci_hdrc.0/role 
  host

• turn on power to port

  echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/wakeup
  echo on > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/control

Fixed the rendering issues
