Hi!
I was able to make all required changes in the kernel sources to be able to install Linux inside and configure everything to be more or less usable on such small device.
Here you can find sample SD card image and test it yourself:

Warning! This image was tested only with Kobo Touch model N905C. Probably it will NOT WORK with OTHER devices. By installing it you will erase all data on your SD card. Make sure you have a copy. WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I want to share with you with source code of the changes, so owners of other devices can adapt the changes to their devices. Also I've installed two developer environments there:
It is really easy to write apps for Kobo now. I hope that by sharing these images and source codes later we will see better software for Kobo, made more easily now (this is full multitasking, fully configurable desktop).
Have a good fun,
Marek

- mono 3.2.1 with qyoto (you can use Visual Studio and write apps for .NET 4.5 + QT4.8)
- python 3 with pyside (you can write QT apps with python)
It is really easy to write apps for Kobo now. I hope that by sharing these images and source codes later we will see better software for Kobo, made more easily now (this is full multitasking, fully configurable desktop).
