Unlike traditional displays, one cannot directly set the intensity of a given cell. Instead, the EPD controller (EPDC) can either apply a positive charge to a cell to move its black particles to the top or a negative charge to move its white particles to the top. By alternating between the two charges, one can create a mix of bot… text/html 2023-02-19T00:11:58+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://remarkablewiki.fireti.me/doku.php?id=tech:file_transfer&rev=1676783518&do=diff File Transfer File Transfer via SFTP To transfer files with a graphic user interface (GUI), download an SFTP program like WinSCP, FileZilla or Cyberduck.

It is easy to get root SSH access and they have not locked down the debugging interface. This makes it possible to boot your own boot loader (u-boot) and Linux kernel.
