This project is basically abandoned, as they chose to rebuild it from the ground up targeting a different platform: https://github.com/PorQ-Pine
Part of the motivation derived from newer Kobos deploying with SecureBoot, making it tough to reflash them.
From the wiki: currently supported devices does not appear to support the recent Kobo eReaders
Yes because they use signed firmware, it was in another article here recently
What I don't really understand is why they've tied the reader app so tightly to the entire custom OS. It seems like it used to be more standalone, and these days that is essentially impossible?
I have a Kobo Elipsa 2E (which I love). I never new about the PineNote! It seems awesome. Maybe I will have to get one.
Should really be called Restricted Boot
