Zig Pocketbook

Build applications for Pocketbook ereaders with Zig 0.14.x+

Introduction

The source of the SDK can be found on GitHub. This is using the version 6.5 of the SDK because the version 6.8 is released in a 7z file that the Zig build system cannot handle yet.

For now, an example is built with the module. This example is a manual rewrite in Zig of an hello world example by Pascal Martin.

Usage

Not very tested yet, but you should be able to add this as a dependency to your project:

zig fetch --save=pb git+https://forge.lunai.re/rodolphe/zig-pocketbook.zig

And in your build.zig:

const pb_dep = b.dependency("pb", .{});
const inkview = pb_dep.module("inkview");

// Assuming your executable's module is named exe_mod
exe_mod.addModule("inkview", inkview);

From there you should be able to use the module in your code:

const inkview = @import("inkview");

Please note that it is not possible to build an application for an OS other than Linux or a CPU architecture other than ARM. On my reader, a Pocketbook Touch HD3, the correct triplet to use for the target is arm-linux-gnueabi.2.23.
