I bricked the reMarkable 2 within a day or two of receiving the device. And since then it's been laying in the cupboard. I'm grateful for the recovery write up by ddvk, but I'd really wish Remarkable would make it a bit easier. I understand it's not their problem, but looking through the physical recovery flow is sadly utterly confusing if one isn't already a seasoned geek. They really should provide the SSH password printed and an easier way to reset the device.

I'd love to give it a try soon. Unfortunately couldn't source the required parts from any European online shop. Can anyone help here or is AliExpress the only viable option?

I used Adafruit for the USB micro breakout, and also a USB-C breakout. Their USB-C breakout had SBU-2 but I couldn't get it working (this was before I thought to flip the cable!). I bought the larger breakout seen in that post from Amazon[1].
