`kobo-rs` is a minimal Rust library for interacting with modified Kobo e-readers. This is designed for use in applications running *on* the Kobo, not over the network.

## Building

Since we are cross-compiling (please don't try compiling software *on* a Kobo), we need a few tools.

```sh

docker pull ewpratten/kobo-cross-armhf:latest

cargo install cross

```

With that out of the way, the library can be built with:

```sh

cross build --target arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf

```

You'll need to do these same steps with your own applications.

## Running an example

To build and run the `display` example, you'll need to do the following:

```sh

cross build --target arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf --release --example display

```

Then, copy the binary to the Kobo's internal storage and execute the following command on the device:

```sh

/mnt/onboard/display

```
