Creality K1C Ethernet Driver Build Tools v0.1.0
This release does not contain prebuilt kernel modules.
It provides build, verification, local packaging, deployment, installation,
configuration, Wi-Fi fallback, rollback, diagnostic, and uninstall tools for
users who have independently obtained a compatible kernel source tree and
cross-toolchain through authorized channels.
This is an unofficial community project and is not affiliated with,
endorsed by, or supported by Creality.
Included
- Scripts and documentation for local build orchestration.
- Build-environment validation.
- Kernel-tree compatibility inspection heuristics.
- Local module metadata verification.
- Local runtime package creation.
- Printer deployment and installation helpers.
- Wi-Fi fallback handling with both
KEEP_WIFI_FALLBACK=1andKEEP_WIFI_FALLBACK=0supported. - Boot-start enable/disable helpers, rollback, diagnostics, and uninstall support.
Not Included
- No vendor SDK is included.
- No vendor source is included.
- No firmware is included.
- No cross-toolchain is included.
- No prebuilt kernel modules are included.
- No unofficial SDK download link is provided.
Generic upstream Linux 4.4.94 is not guaranteed compatible. Users must provide a compatible source and build basis through authorized channels. Locally compiled modules are not distributed by this project. Anyone redistributing compiled modules is responsible for applicable source, notice, and licensing obligations.
Default installation leaves automatic boot startup disabled until connectivity testing passes.
Workflow
- Obtain compatible source and toolchain through authorized channels.
- Copy and edit
build.env.example. - Validate the build environment.
- Inspect kernel compatibility.
- Prepare the kernel tree outside this repository.
- Build the three modules locally.
- Verify module metadata.
- Create a local runtime package.
- Deploy over the printer's Wi-Fi connection.
- Test Ethernet and Wi-Fi fallback.
- Enable automatic startup only after successful testing.
