Is 2.14.3.977 usable?

[palfrey]

Website says no, but remarkable-hacks now has support as does the rm2 framebuffer so not sure?

Not until the packages are updated and make it to stable.

• Display update Updated display version #623 display: Update to v0.0.23 (support for 2.14.3.1005) #628
• ddvk update Bump ddvk to 36 #627

I've installed toltec stable (as the bootstrap didn't use either package), and then built/installed both of these by hand. LGTM on my rm2 running 2.14.3.977

I would recommend commenting on the pull requests themselves, and testing with the artifacts generated there.

@palfrey would you mind putting together a gist or something demonstrating how you got this working on the latest firmware? I’m really interested to try, but unsure when official support will come

I mostly just did the standard install and then you can copy individual .ipk's (either from local hand-built stuff or the artifacts in the PRs) and install those with opkg install <file>

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit stupid.... But I would also like to use tolltec and am on 2.14.3.1005. How exactly do I have to proceed or what do I have to install additionally?

[sloane-shark]

@atze007 assuming ddvk and display support that firmware, you can follow the normal installation procedure, but any framebuffer apps will require you to copy the updated installers for ddvk and display to your remarkable and run them manually.

We don't support running ddvk-hack's installer directly with toltec's package already installed. You'd need to grab the updated ipk artifacts from one of the open pull requests, or switch to the testing branch if the pull request has been merged.

I think #635 solves this?
