reMarkable Stuff
Collection of reMarkable related apps, utilities and libraries.
Projects
rm2fb
Custom implementation for reMarkable 2 framebuffer. The differences are:
- Lower level hooking, removing the Qt dependence.
- Uses UNIX sockets instead of message queues. Makes it easier to implement synchronized updates.
- Supports less but newer xochitl versions
Yaft
A fast framebuffer terminal emulator.
<img src="doc/yaft.png" width=500/>To use simply execute yaft or yaft <command..>.
More usage information can be found in the yaft Readme.
Rocket
Launcher that uses the power button to show.
<img src="doc/rocket.png" width=500/>When pressing the power button, the app drawer will be shown with a timeout of 10 seconds.
After 10 seconds the device will go to sleep, unless an app is picked before that timeout.
You can also interrupt the timeout by pressing the [x] button.
This allows you to switch apps without relying on gestures.
Tilem
A TI-84+ calculator emulator for the remarkable.
<img src="doc/tilem.png" width=500/>To use simply execute tilem, a prompt for downloading a ROM file will be shown.
If you already have a ROM file, you can pass it as an argument on the command line.
rMlib
Library for writing remarkable apps. Includes an extensive declarative UI framework based on Flutter.
SWTCON
This lib contains a reverse engineered software TCON. It currently still relies
on some functions from xochitl, namely the generator thread routine.
To use these functions it must be launched as an LD_PRELOAD library attached to xochitl.
The swtcon-preload tool is an example of how it can be currently used.
Building
Building for the remarkable can either use the toltec toolchain or the reMarkable one:
# For toltec:
$ cmake --preset dev-toltec
# For remarkable:
$ cmake --preset dev
# To build everything:
$ cmake --build build/dev
# Or to build a specific app:
$ cmake --build build/dev --target yaft
# To create an ipk file:
$ cmake --build build/dev --target package
Emulating
For faster development an EMULATE mode is supported by rMlib. This allows
running most apps on a desktop using SDL to emulate the remarkable screen.
To enable it pass -DEMULATE=ON to the cmake configure command, without using
the reMarkable toolchain of course.
$ cmake --preset dev-host
$ cmake --build build/host --target yaft
$ ./build/host/apps/yaft/yaft # Should launch Yaft with an emulated screen in a separete window.
