Changed rm2fb Made rm2-suspend-fix rm2-only Apps that do not support reMarkable 2: - appmarkable (LinusCDE/appmarkable#2) - rmservewacominput (because it depends on appmarkable) - vnsee (matteodelabre/vnsee#15) - whiteboard-hypercard (fenollp/reMarkable-tools#12) Apps updated to include the rM2 shim: - calculator - chessmarkable - draft - fingerterm - keywriter - koreader (through setting LD_PRELOAD in the existing wrapper script) - oxide (also changed the package to build from source) - plato - recrossable - remarkable-splash - retris - rmkit - xochitl (created a wrapper script at /opt/bin/xochitl) - zshelf

This PR improves Toltec’s support for reMarkable 2 in a few ways: * Prevents users from installing packages that are known to be incompatible with their device (fixes #129). * Automatically installs and sets up the rm2fb server when an app that uses the framebuffer is installed. * Stops relying on LD_PRELOAD to load the rm2fb shim into apps that need it. Instead, change their dynamic dependencies to include the shim directly. Thanks to this change, we no longer need to set LD_PRELOAD globally (fixes #248) and users can launch apps that need the shim without prefixing them with `rm2fb-client`. Tooling changes (more details in the updated docs/package.md): * Added the `archs` field for declaring which device(s) a recipe is compatible with. Supported values are `rmall` (for device-independent packages), `rm1` (for reMarkable 1) and `rm2` (for reMarkable 2). When multiple arch values are set for a recipe, the recipe is generated once per entry, which allows specializing builds for specific devices. * Replaced the `depends` field with an `installdepends` field used for declaring install-time dependencies. Previously, dependencies declared in the `depends` field were fulfilled both at build time and at install time, with no way of declaring install-time-only dependencies. * Added a `replaces` field that sets the `Replaces` value in the generated package. Used for migrating users from the `rm2fb` package to the `display` and `rm2fb-shim` packages (see below). * Changed [the web package listing](https://toltec-dev.org/dev/split-architectures) to include download links for each available architecture of each package. * Packages are now stored in subdirectories named after their architecture. This is because opkg does not like seeing packages for architectures other than the ones it is configured to accept in opkg.conf. With this layout change, we can make opkg happy by only adding subdirectories for enabled architectures. Install changes: * The bootstrap script now adds the `rmall` architecture (and folder) on all installs, and the `rm1` or `rm2` architecture (and folder) depending on the type of the device it’s executed on. It will fail if the device is not of a recognized type (based on the value of `/sys/devices/soc0/machine`). * Running the new bootstrap script on an existing install will upgrade the configuration to use the new architecture subdirectories layout. rm2fb changes: * The package is split into two packages, `display` (which provides the rm2fb server on rM2 and is an empty package on rM1) and `rm2fb-shim` (which provides the client shim on rM2 and a mock shim on rM1). * The `rm2fb-server` command is removed (the most common use-case being that the display server is started from the systemd unit). * The `rm2fb-client` command is renamed to `rm2fb-shim`, with the expectation that users will not need it anymore, unless for development purposes. Apps marked as reMarkable-1-only: * appmarkable (LinusCDE/appmarkable#2) * rmservewacominput (because it depends on appmarkable) * vnsee (matteodelabre/vnsee#15) * whiteboard-hypercard (fenollp/reMarkable-tools#12) Apps marked as reMarkable-2-only: * rm2-suspend-fix Apps updated to include the rM2 shim: * calculator * chessmarkable * draft * fingerterm * keywriter * koreader (through setting LD_PRELOAD in the existing wrapper script) * oxide * plato * recrossable * remarkable-splash * retris * rmkit * xochitl (through a new wrapper script at /opt/bin/xochitl) * zshelf Test plan (on rM1 and rM2): * Starting from a clean stable or testing install of Toltec, download the updated bootstrap script and run: ```console $ toltec_branch=dev/split-architectures bash bootstrap ``` * This should update the `/opt/etc/opkg.conf` configuration file to enable the `rmall` architecture and, depending on the device you’re running this on, the `rm1` or the `rm2` architecture. * It should also replace the `src/gz toltec` line with two source lines, `src/gz toltec-rmall` and `src/gz toltec-rm1` or `src/gz toltec-rm2`, pointing to subfolders of `https://toltec-dev.org/dev/split-architectures`. * Run `opkg upgrade`. Most installed packages should get upgraded, and if you had installed any packages that use the screen, the `display` and `rm2fb-shim` packages should get installed. If you previously installed the `rm2fb` package, it should get removed automatically. * Try installing `rm2-suspend-fix` on a reMarkable 1, or `vnsee` on a reMarkable 2: both operations should fail. * Test all updated packages to make sure they can properly draw to the screen (both on rM1 and rM2) and that you can interact with them through the touchscreen and the pen, when applicable. * In particular, make sure that apps work properly when launched from draft, oxide or remux.

This PR improves Toltec’s support for reMarkable 2 in a few ways: * Prevents users from installing packages that are known to be incompatible with their device (fixes #129). * Automatically installs and sets up the rm2fb server when an app that uses the framebuffer is installed. * Stops relying on LD_PRELOAD to load the rm2fb shim into apps that need it. Instead, change their dynamic dependencies to include the shim directly. Thanks to this change, we no longer need to set LD_PRELOAD globally (fixes #248) and users can launch apps that need the shim without prefixing them with `rm2fb-client`. It replaces the previous PR #136. #### Tooling changes More details in the updated [docs/package.md](https://github.com/toltec-dev/toltec/blob/tooling/split-architectures/docs/package.md). * Added the `archs` field for declaring which device(s) a recipe is compatible with. Supported values are `rmall` (for device-independent packages), `rm1` (for reMarkable 1) and `rm2` (for reMarkable 2). When multiple arch values are set for a recipe, the recipe is generated once per entry, which allows specializing builds for specific devices. * Replaced the `depends` field with an `installdepends` field used for declaring install-time dependencies. Previously, dependencies declared in the `depends` field were fulfilled both at build time and at install time, with no way of declaring install-time-only dependencies. * Added a `replaces` field that sets the `Replaces` value in the generated package. Used for migrating users from the `rm2fb` package to the `display` and `rm2fb-client` packages (see below). * Added a `patch_rm2fb` flag for recipes to instruct the build system to patch all the generated binaries that use the rM1 framebuffer with the rm2fb client shim. * Changed [the web package listing](https://toltec-dev.org/dev/split-architectures) to include download links for each available architecture of each package. * Packages are now stored in subdirectories named after their architecture. This is because opkg does not like seeing packages for architectures other than the ones it is configured to accept in opkg.conf. With this layout change, we can make opkg happy by only adding subdirectories for enabled architectures. #### Install changes * The bootstrap script now adds the `rmall` architecture (and folder) on all installs, and the `rm1` or `rm2` architecture (and folder) depending on the type of the device it’s executed on. It will fail if the device is not of a recognized type (based on the value of `/sys/devices/soc0/machine`). * Running the new bootstrap script on an existing install will upgrade the configuration to use the new architecture subdirectories layout. #### rm2fb changes * The package is split into two packages, `display` (which provides the rm2fb server on rM2 and is an empty package on rM1) and `rm2fb-client` (which provides the client shim on rM2 and a mock shim on rM1). * The `rm2fb-server` command is removed (the most common use-case being that the display server is started from the systemd unit). #### Apps changes Apps marked as reMarkable-1-only: * vnsee (matteodelabre/vnsee#15) * whiteboard-hypercard (fenollp/reMarkable-tools#12) Apps marked as reMarkable-2-only: * rm2-suspend-fix Apps updated to include the rM2 shim: * appmarkable * calculator * chessmarkable * draft * fingerterm * keywriter * koreader (through setting LD_PRELOAD in the existing wrapper script) * oxide * plato * recrossable * remarkable-splash * retris * rmkit * wikipedia * xochitl (through a new wrapper script at /opt/bin/xochitl) * zshelf #### Test plan On rM1 and rM2 (system version: 2.5). * Starting from a clean install of Toltec stable or testing, download the updated bootstrap script and run: ```console $ toltec_branch=dev/split-architectures bash bootstrap ``` * This should update the `/opt/etc/opkg.conf` configuration file to enable the `rmall` architecture and, depending on the device you’re running this on, the `rm1` or the `rm2` architecture. * It should also replace the `src/gz toltec` line with two source lines, `src/gz toltec-rmall` and `src/gz toltec-rm1` or `src/gz toltec-rm2`, pointing to subfolders of `https://toltec-dev.org/dev/split-architectures`. * Run `opkg upgrade`. Most installed packages should get upgraded, and if you had installed any packages that use the screen, the `display` and `rm2fb-client` packages should get installed. If you previously installed the `rm2fb` package, it should get removed automatically. * Try installing `rm2-suspend-fix` on a reMarkable 1, or `vnsee` on a reMarkable 2: both operations should fail. * Test all updated packages to make sure they can properly draw to the screen (both on rM1 and rM2) and that you can interact with them through the touchscreen and the pen, when applicable. It is no longer needed to prefix each app invocation with `rm2fb-client` on the command line on reMarkable 2. * In particular, make sure that apps work properly when launched from draft, oxide or remux (things to check: launching, pausing, killing apps, switching back and forth from xochitl). #### Rollout plan When this PR hits testing and stable, existing users will no longer receive updates until they run the new bootstrap script on their existing installs. They will also probably see an error when they do `opkg update`. Figuring out how to automatic transition users is left to a future PR. Co-authored-by: okay <okay@arkose>

Should depend on canselcik/libremarkable#65 |

Actually fixed in #19 |

Hi! This works great on reMarkable 1. I'm trying to test it with reMarkable2 paired with a reMarkable 1. It appears to receive information, but I am not able to draw anything. Has anyone else tried?
