Does the e-ink display work yet?
#2
No, the eink display does not work yet. What pgwipeout did was change the boot logo which is stored on a special partition.

There are a few things that make progress slow:
  1. the eink driver rockchip released is an assembly dump
  2. this will be the first eInk device driver in mainline linux, period
  3. rkdeveloptool to flash stuff to the device is a pain, you have to flash individual partitions and it's buggy and inconvenient to do
  4. smaeul is mostly going at it all on his own from what I understand, I've been focusing on the Quartz64 instead, as have others

You do not want to purchase this right now with any hopes of using it for its intended purpose for the next year at least.
