3 years ago My libnickel patch Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height will fail your tests because Kobo have changed the dictionary code again.
I've had a quick look at what's changed and I don't think there should be too much trouble fixing it.

KERNEL=="input*" RUN+="/usr/local/Kobo/udev/input" (runs ( sleep 2; echo input $ACTION $DEVPATH ${NAME:1:-1} > /tmp/nickel-hardware-status & ) &) (cc @NiLuJe).logs-public.pem RSA public key for encrypting logs.pickel-imx executable./etc/init.d/rcK (which SIGSTOPs nickel and sickel, unmounts all filesystems, then fscks the user data partition) instead of /bin/umount -a -r (cc @NiLuJe, @frostschutz, @baskerville).jackiew1

3 years ago Initial nickel CSS analysis is that very little has changed, so nickel.yaml should be OK as-is.
3 brand new qss resources:
AutoCompleteClear.qss
N3SettingsPhysicalKeyView.qss
NotePreviewDialog.css
1 resource with minor changes, but I don't believe any existing patches use it:
AddToCollectionDialog.qss

3 years ago * New `pickel-imx` executable.
pickel is now a shell frontend... Which currently calls pickel-imx on all currently known platforms. That's... not necessarily a good news, might be a hint that the next device will not be using an i.MX SoC, which would be... unfun.
* Shutdown inittab target is now `/etc/init.d/rcK` (which SIGSTOPs nickel twice, unmounts all filesystems, then fscks the user data partition) instead of `/bin/umount -a -r` (cc @NiLuJe, @frostschutz, @baskerville).
That's nickel & sickel, not nickel twice ;).

My eyes are tired :wink:.
Here's what the pubkey is for:
(
(
(
/bin/echo -n $CIPHER_IV:$CIPHER_KEY
) |
/usr/bin/openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey /usr/local/Kobo/logs-public.pem -pubin
);
(
/bin/dmesg;
/sbin/logread
) |
/bin/gzip -9 |
/usr/bin/openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -iv $CIPHER_IV -K $CIPHER_KEY
) > /mnt/onboard/.kobo/log-%1So apparently, the log dumps are now encrypted. But on the other hand, the raw logs are now accessible over a TCP socket if EnableDebugServices is true:
nc -ll -p 5000 -e /sbin/logread &
nc -ll -p 5001 -e /sbin/logread -f &Based on a quick skim of the code, the old developer options log-saving appears to have been removed. The new one is run unconditionally on poweroff, on low battery, and when manually triggered in developer options.
Update: They also set the IV properly this time.
I'm going to start working on the patches after I look at a few more things.

3 years ago Random notes:
pickel-imx, the init script changes in the last version, the bluetooth audio a few versions ago, and the additional hardware stuff and input handling in this version) (and maybe the LED stuff has something to do with the update to US10795408B2?).NoteIndicatorManager and [ReadingSettings] ShowNoteIndicators.pgaskin

3 years ago Slightly off-topic status update for dictutil: I really need to get around to pushing the v3 dictionary support. It's nearly finished, but I've been short on time, and it also needs quite a bit of testing.

3 years ago @jackiew1, how are your nickel patches?
As I said 2 hours ago in my 3rd post, very little has changed in nickel CSS and none of the current patches use the little which has changed.
I'm just about to test the updated (not committed yet) Dictionary text font-family/font-size/line-height in libnickel, but I need to actually install the fw to do that.
More later.

Looks like I overlooked that post (I think GH is having caching issues again...). I'm going to do the other updates now, and I should have them committed (and lightly tested) within the next half hour.

3 years ago @jackiew1, it's ready for you to commit your changes now. I'll do a bit more testing with the other patches now, then once you're ready, I'll release them.
I might also look into some of the patch requests if I have time.
NickelMenu, NickelSeries, NickelDBus, and the other related mods work fine with this firmware version.

3 years ago Based on the new dictionary, I found something interesting.
If you look up gaijitest, you'll see a list of characters. #x0493 is inserted as a GIF image in the dictzip. Previously, this would cause a blank display, but it shows correctly. The interesting part is that the GIF is gzip-compressed. I'll need to investigate this further and see if this is new (I think this is the case) or if I just missed that image files should be gzipped before.
It also appears that large dictionaries work better now.

3 years ago Fun fact: the latest Kindle FW release dropped another rather large hint of a move off i.MX SoCs... towards MediaTek ones, in their case (apparently).
(The Kindle FW runs X, which means we have a nice driver name switch, from imx to mtk...).
