* Only switch to ondemand when we actually can, and when it's better than the current governor...
This potentially leaves Mk.5 in the lurch, but there's no perfect solution there :/.
* Switch to UI for the unmark event of navigation hints markers
Might help on non-REAGL devices, and doesn't hurt there (re #3983).
* Switch SQLite DBs to WAL
Sounds nice in theory, behaves fine in practice.
* Switch to ondemand CPUFreq governor on Kobo
My H2O boots with the userspace (!!) governor...
Note that the hardware appears to blissfully ignore any of this, because
the stats still show the CPU changing state on its own...
* Handle OTA updates during the restart loop on Kobo/Kindle
So we can actually process OTA updates without ever truly exiting
KOReader (i.e., via the "Restart KOReader" menu entry) ;).
* With a bonus version normalizer fix.
* And a zsync bump/fix to avoid softlocks with OpenStack HTTP frontends (also, pull those from the OTA mirror list).
* Better KOA2 support
* Fix FL
* Add physical pageturn keys
* Add accelerometer support
* Possibly better NaturalLight handling on the Clara
* Fix WiFi module name used in some(?) Mk7 Kobos
* A bunch of kodev fixes
* Link to the WiKi, it's a bit more explainy ;).
* More WiFi trickery for some HW revs
* Fix Rev2 detection under KSM
That's to future-proof it, the other end of this hasn't made it into
current KSM build yet.
* Resync nickel.sh w/ current rcS
We don't have CPU, but we have PLATFORM, which is based on CPU, so,
that'll do :).
* Go back to using rmmod instead of modprobe -r
Functionally identical on current FW, will potentially avoid getting
outsmarted by modprobe if Kobo ever deigns shipping an actually usable
Linux system one day...
* Don't crash if screensavers directory doesn't exist
c.f., https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3706979&postcount=2919
* Trim unneeded stuff from startup script
I was somehow convinced I'd already done that...
While we're there, explain why we need to siphon those specific vars
* Fix a stray eth0
-> $INTERFACE
* Be very very sure we have INTERFACE set in our env
re #3936
* Make getFirmwareVersion less fragile on Kobo
Not that we actually use it right now, but, still. :D
* Use the same syntax as the PRODUCT check
* Actually implement getProductId
Instead of a stray c/p ^^
* Properly identify the Rev2/Mark7 variants of existing devices
Namely, the H2O² and Aura SE
Not that the H2O²r2 support is still broken, this just allows us to
implement it cleanyl without breaking handling of the original H2O²
re #3925
* Tweak sleeps a bit around Kobo WiFi modules...
See if that jog things up (re #3936)
* Try harder not to suspend with WiFi on on Kobos
Because otherwise, things go boom. (re #3936)
Regression after bdb82d09c1
TL;DR: That thing is race-y as hell.
The more I play with Kobos, the more it feels like the whole thing's
held together by pieces of fraying strings...
* Flag those scripts as executable in git
Somewhat irrelevant because we'll end up living on a FAT32 drive, but,
still.
* Cleanup Kobo startup script
Support KFMon >= 0.9.5
Don't siphon PRODUCT from nickel, it's exported by rcS, so fmon/KFMon
already inherit it.
Siphon NICKEL_HOME, on the off-chance nickel fails to figure that one
out for itself on restart.
Siphon LANG (This may be a terrible idea, rcS sets LANG to en_US.UTF-8,
while we set LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8, but I don't know if nickel itself
ever updates LANG, since I have mine set to en_US also ;)).
My secret hope if that everything's working as it should and this ensures
we default to Nickel's locale on fresh installs?
Remove the extra sync on startup, both @Baskerville's fmon and KFMon are
smart enough not to do anything overly stupid, and recent FW versions
have a slightly more resilient DB anyway (rollback journal -> WAL).
This effectively shaves over a second off our startup time.
* Slimmed down the nickel restart script.
Based on current rcS
Scrapped a bucketload of irrelevant & legacy crap, since we're never
bootstrapping nickel, only restarting it.
* Update Kobo install instrcutions.
Point to KSM09, @Baskerville's fmon, and KFMon.
Deprecate legacy fmon, and as such, stop shipping a useless KoboRoot
tarball.
Disable wakeup_count handling, that's often causing more harm than
anything else...
Nickel doesn't even use it, that should have been a hint ;).
Make the logging slightly less confusing.
Add commented out debug features (dumping relevant dmesg output).
Re #2188
When using KFMon, make the reboot on exit user-configurable.
The user can now choose to try to restart Nickel directly, like with
fmon.
For now, we still do a full reboot by default.
To avoid potential issues with USBMS.
Namely, make sure CWD doesn't point to the userstore for persitent
processes.
Make sure wpa_supplicant doesn't try to use our own OpenSSL lib, which,
again, is in the userstore area.
Properly kill our dhcp client invocation on when killing WiFi
Also, some related fixes to the startup script:
Properly kill wpa_supplicant & the dhcp client when we kill
wifi before rebooting to nickel.
Thanks to @Markismus's questions, I realized that some of what i thought
was true, wasn't.
First, pkill is a terrible idea to check for interpreted scripts.
Second, pidof is also potentially not that great for interpreted
scripts, because it'll only work with a shebang, and one that is
following the Linux syntax.
We don't have the full version with the -x to paper over that,
so use pgrep -f instead.
cf.
a736a571d2 (commitcomment-10948910)
for the gory details.
pkill probably only checks the actual name of the binary.
We were checking a shell script, which I'm guessing is not launched
via a shebang, so that name was actually an arg to sh, or something like
that.
Use pidof instead, which matches the full command line.
For some unknowable reason, restarting nickel on exit deadlocks on my
H2O, so, do a full reboot instead, at least *that* works.
I'm probably one of the only people running KO manually anyway...
Compatibility with KSM is resolved. Koreader will now work from any directory it is installed in.
KSM7 tweaks `koreader.sh` line 5 from a hardcoded path to the line used above. I've added the change in line 12 to allow OTA updating.
The commands in networkmgr.lua rely on an assigned value of PLATFORM. As discussed in #1423 this is only the case for child processes of rcS. This seems to be a fine place to check the value of PLATFORM.
It turns out that one of our mupdf patch reads the FONTDIR env var
and uses it in a totally different way so we will use another env var
EXT_FONT_DIR to define external font directory for different platforms.
to support custom font directory for EPUB documents
Now Koreader could find fonts in the "fonts" directory in the USB root
directory of kindle, Kobo and PocketBook devices, thus no need to copy
fonts to "koreader/fonts" directory.
