Openinkpot for the Cybook Gen3
Hi,
According to this: http://workflowepub.com/3632/open-in...r-ereaders.php it is possible... but has anybody tried it - or should I be the first? Last edited by lunohod; 06-28-2012 at 02:17 AM. Reason: fix link |

It would help if you posted a valid link.

JSWolf: the link works ok for me...
lunohod: I tried the oi-netronix-eb600-live-xxxxxx.zip download but could not get it to work. I'm not sure if my Cybook is supported, it's a CYBGEN310B with an ARM920T chip. |

What does 'about' page say about the hardware? OI might run on a 400MHz cpu, but if you've got ony 32Mb RAM you should adjust the start script boot-oi.sh like that:
insmod $DIR/reloaded_2.6.18/reloaded.ko kernel=$DIR/zImage initrd=$DIR/initrd.gz cmdline="mem=32M root=/dev/ram console=ttySAC0,115200" >> $DIR/boot.log.txt 2>&1 |

lunohod, thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, the "about" page gives no indication of how much ram is available. The start-up script boot-oi.sh is: Code:
#!/bin/sh DIR=/mnt/mmc/openinkpot mount /mnt/mmc -o remount,rw for i in $DIR/reloaded*.ko; do insmod $i kernel=$DIR/vmlinuz-2.6.37-eb600 initrd=$DIR/initrd.gz >> $DIR/boot.log.txt 2>&1; done dmesg > $DIR/dmesg.txt |

lunohod,
Still no luck, I'm afraid. I did as you suggested but the device refuses to boot into openinkpot. There is no boot.log.txt in the openinkpot directory at all. |

Maybe it doesn't execute update_kernel. Maybe the Bookeen has implemented another way to update the firmware.

lunohod - funny you should say that!
My last upgrade from Bookeen followed these steps: Quote:
So, I'm thinking, should I (1) keep the SD card with OI and rename update_kernel to cybook_upgrade or (2) move the openinkpot folder & cybook_upgrade into the root folder? I'll try (1) first and see what happens... |

Well, neither of those worked.
With the openinkpot folder in the main device I opened a terminal and ran ./boot-oi.sh - this was the result: Quote:
