# reMarkable Entware

This is a modified installer for [Entware](https://github.com/Entware/Entware), a lightweight package manager and software repo for embedded devices.

If you'd like to install reMarkable specific packages, you should install [Toltec](https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec) instead, which includes the Entware repositories. WARNING: you may softbrick your device when installing Toltec if Toltec does not support your current version.

See a list of available packages [here](http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/) and [here](https://toltec-dev.org/stable/).

### Installation

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

Connect to the reMarkable with [SSH](https://remarkablewiki.com/tech/ssh) and execute

``` bash

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

``` bash

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`.

``` bash

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.

``` bash

journalctl --vacuum-size=2M

```
