reMarkable Entware

This is a modified installer for Entware, a lightweight package manager and software repo for embedded devices.

See a list of available packages here.

Installation

Connect your device to the internet before executing.

scp entware_install.sh [email protected]:
ssh [email protected] ./entware_install.sh

All entware data is located in /opt (which actually points to /home/root/.entware because of size constraints on the root partition). Base installation is ~13MB.

Examples

opkg install git
opkg find '*top*'    # search package names and descriptions

After a reMarkable update

reMarkable updates wipe out everything outside of /home/root. While Entware remains intact in /home/root/.entware, the mount over /opt has to be recreated with entware_reenable.sh.

scp entware_reenable.sh [email protected]
ssh [email protected] ./entware_reenable.sh

No space left on device

You can clean up logfiles which take up considerable space on the root partition.

journalctl --vacuum-size=2M
