Rust (and Slint) on a Jailbroken Kindle

Quality: 7/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

A personal blog post detailing how the author jailbroke a Kindle, cross-compiles Rust for ARMv7 with Zig and cargo-zigbuild, and uses Slint to render a GUI on the Kindle's e-ink display. It covers obtaining shell access, hooking up input/output through the Linux framebuffer and multi-touch protocol, and publishing a Kindle backend crate on crates.io. The piece highlights practical, open-source workflows for embedded Rust on low-power devices.
