Quick question
I am going to try this project. But just asking if linux kobo can support a ogt or Bluetooth keyboard? Cool project.
Hi! Thanks!
Unfortunately as far as I know USB port in Kobo is not OTG and it has no bluetooth at all.
Your only options are: RS232 port (available on the motherboard if you open the cover - please refer to how to connect serial GPS module) or through wifi (worse option because of high power consumption and not sure about existing solution / drivers). I don't think someone did it already. Be prepared to recompile the kernel for required drivers.
If you want to use mouse and keyboard at home, connected to your PC, you may try to run Synergy app: http://synergy-project.org/synergy/.

I know it's been 8 years but you wouldn't still happen to have that image floating around would you?
