reMarkable Entware

This is a modified installer for Entware, a lightweight package manager and software repo for embedded devices.

If you'd like to install reMarkable specific packages, you should install Toltec instead, which includes the Entware repositories as well as graphical applications for the reMarkable.

See a list of available entware packages here: http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/.

Installation

Connect the reMarkable via USB and make sure it has internet access.

Connect to the reMarkable with SSH and execute

wget -O - http://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evidlo/remarkable_entware/master/install.sh | sh

All entware data is located in /opt (which actually points to /home/root/.entware because of size constraints on the root partition). Base installation is ~13MB.

Examples

opkg install git
opkg find '*top*'    # search package names and descriptions

After a reMarkable update

reMarkable updates wipe out everything outside of /home/root. While Entware remains intact in /home/root/.entware, the mount over /opt has to be recreated with entware_reenable.sh.

wget -O - http://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evidlo/remarkable_entware/master/reenable.sh | sh

No space left on device

You can clean up logfiles which take up considerable space on the root partition.

journalctl --vacuum-size=2M

Uninstallation

umount /opt
rm -rf /opt
rm -rf /home/root/.entware
rm /etc/systemd/system/opt.mount
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl disable opt.mount
