Please see the original README file for instructions on installation and usage.
- Verse Pro Color (PB634; firmware version U634k3.6.8.3806)
Downloads are available on the Releases page.
These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Linux Mint 22).
Building this app requires basic build tools and a current Pocketbook SDK from https://github.com/pocketbook/SDK_6.3.0.
The current SDK (6.8 at the time of writing) contains separate toolchains for different CPUs. It supports building for:
- Allwinner B288 (dual-core SoC used in older devices)
- Allwinner B300 (quad-core SoC with more power, apparently used in the Color models)
Please use the CPU version that applies to your target device by adjusting the TOOLCHAIN_PATH variable in CMakeLists.txt, e. g.
SET (TOOLCHAIN_PATH "../SDK/SDK_6.3.0/SDK-B300")
After that, execute
> cmake .
and then
> make
Copy the file pbterm.app in the bin folder to the application directory of your device (e. g. via USB cable).
The program will appear as @pbterm in the lower section of the Apps page.
- Scrolling only works partially on Verse Pro Color. A part of the screen buffer wraps around and appears on top, overwriting previous output.
- Missing interpretation of terminal control sequences such as emitted by
clear.
