Add support for Libra Colour and Clara Colour

[azw413]

It installs ok and is visible in NickelMenu but when you launch it, the devices freezes and needs a hard reboot to get going again.

Same behavior on Clara BW

[baskerville]

The Clara BW should be working on the master branch. The color models will require more work.

[mullse01]

I am still having trouble with my Clara BW (v4.39.22861) - neither the one-click packages, nor the installing manually via the master branch here, results in a successful launch of Plato. Launching with either KFMon or directly via Nickel Menu causes the device to hang until manually rebooted.

[ZNielsen]

@baskerville, would you mind cutting a release when you get a chance? I went to build the master branch but it looks like the Kobo-Reader org has hit the bandwidth limit for git-lfs, so I can't download the toolchains.

[ZNielsen]

You can scratch that request — I pulled out an old pi to build with

[stilktf]

Yeah, doesn't seem like Plato works on my Clara BW either. Tried master and all that, still won't work :/

Same issue on Kobo Clara Colour

[leogott]

Anything people owning Colour kobos can do to help?

[Usuario6]

Same here on Libra Colour

[InfinityCg]

Are there plans to support a version for the Libra color?

[amatya-aditya]

Any support for Kobo Libra Color?

[baskerville]

Here's a test binary for the new color devices. The existing files in .adds/plato have to be overwritten with the content of this archive. If you already have a Settings.toml file, remove the line that starts with color = in the [sketch.pen] section before launching. In the main menu (last icon in the top bar), select Applications → Rotation Values and post the content of info.log in your comment.

Thanks, it seems the parameters are already fine for the Libra Colour. We need a tester for the Clara Colour now.

Hi, @baskerville ! I tested the new file you uploaded with my Libra Colour. It works, but not very well, the color display seems to be reversed, and it restarts when it encounters some large epub files.

and here is the correct colour:

[InfinityCg]

I tested the new file you uploaded with my Libra Colour. It works, but not very well, the color display seems to be reversed, and it restarts when it encounters some large epub files.

This + this kind of blue seems very prevalent, Most of my colors are being rendered as this blue or earth/clay red, green renders fine (I think)

[jwillikers]

I noticed the same thing. Green does render much better than other colors.

[baskerville]

The attached binary should fix the color components mix-up.

[IcingTomato]

Now it works very well! Thank you!

[ashrude]

@baskerville Just loaded it on my Clara Colour using your second binary, seems to work well, and the colours do display properly. I'll play around with it a bit tonight, let me know if there's anything you want me to test

Thanks for the work if you need to have a device to test @baskerville i think we could make a crowd founding and to thanks you for working on this thanks !

Thanks for the work if you need to have a device to test @baskerville i think we could make a crowd founding and to thanks you for working on this thanks !

Thanks, but I'm relying on KOReader, FBInk, and KoboUSBMS to understand the new devices. So most of the work is done by others.
