My note below is based on https://gist.github.com/readywater/49a9fbc415141aeb02d2f1e15e643f70 but modifed it to make it work for me in 15th Aug 2021, Remarkable 2 version 2.8.0.98.
the official installation instruction is here, https://toltec-dev.org/#install-toltec
# SSH into the remarkable
ssh root@<ip>
# add pass
# Installing teltec - BELOW IS JUST AN EXAMPLE SO FOLLOW THE LATEST INSTRUCTION INSTEAD AT https://toltec-dev.org/#install-toltec
wget http://toltec-dev.org/bootstrap
echo "04a28483286f88c5c7f39e352afb62adc57f6162a29fd7e124d832205bb0980e bootstrap" | sha256sum -c && bash bootstrap
# Refresh bash
exec bash -l # or exit ssh and reconnect
# rm2fb
opkg install rm2fb-client
It used to be rm2fb
and now it's rm2fb-client, you can read about it here, toltec-dev/toltec#390 (comment)
opkg install remux
systemctl enable --now remux
# Test Remux - swipe up (at least to the middle of the screen) either side of screen
I couldn't make this work at once (keep reading for more)
But this command echo show > /run/remux.api
from a Reddit post at least allowed me to run it (via ssh).
After an hour of trying this and that (in ssh) and searching more information and taking a break and retrying, I stumbled upon the correct way(?) of doing it!
swiping up very high (to the middle of the screen!) at the both side edges. And it finally worked. (You are welcome 😉)
I wanted to comment this happy news on the reddit post but it was already archived.
opkg install koreader
Exiting KOReader via KOReader seems not to work for me but swiping up (high) again and selecting Remarkable to exit works.
Hi @Eeems, thanks for your comment. I made a slight change after your comment. Does it look good to you or more things need to be changed? (Keep that in mind that I haven't made any activity to my Remarkable 2 device related to this gist since it's written in 2021. So I'm not up to date with anything regarding that so I might have not clearly understand what should be changed here.)
