I was excited by this RGBtoHDMI board so I had some printed, but it seems the Xilinx XC9572XL CPLD is hard to source right now. Anyone have any spares that needs a PCB?

to boot the Remarkable in USB mass storage mode. Then mount the correct partition (3rd), rm the broken systemd files I made, then unmount and restart the device. All of that done one-handed while using the other to keep the pins connected to the pads.

But, success!

to put the device into its boot loader state where a USB HID device attaches over the Micro-USB connection. Then while still holding the pins down firmly with one hand, use the other hand to remove the resistor and run a Linux binary which uploads some magic fairy dust \

I was messing around with systemd files on my Remarkable tablet and put it into a reboot loop.

Recovery required sourcing a USB-C breakout board, connecting two pins through a 10K resistor, plus a Micro-USB breakout board held to the pogo pin pads in just the right position \
