I'm thinking of getting an Android e-reader, and hacking it to be less bad (probably by putting a lightweight Debian on it). Unfortunately, driving an e-ink display correctly is fiddly. Fortunately, Android has a Hardware Abstraction Layer, so in principle I can steal it. Is there a way to use an Android's HAL with a normal (Debian) Linux userspace? Ideally with Wayland (though I'll gladly take X11). My search engine skills are failing me. #AskFedi #AndroidDev #Linux #HAL #Graphics #Wayland
