Not working on K3

[healthyfat]

Am I doing something wrong? It doesn't start on my Kindle Keyboard. Log file shows it is missing some files:

It's a scroll... It's a codex... It's KOReader!

Nope, that's a perfectly normal log (the lua lipc bindings are only found on FW 5.x).

[NiLuJe]

(And the command failures are probably from the timesync plugin, so, again, harmless).

koreader/koreader-base@adb6398 will paper over it.

I know it is not directly connected to KOreader, but I can't find answer elsewhere.

I have problem connecting to K3 using WinSCP. I have USBnet enabled and I followed all the instruction, but I am not able to connect.

WinSCP can't find Kindle even thought it is present in Network Connections as Kindle USB RNDIS Device and I am getting Network error: Connection timed out. Ping 192.168.15.244 doesn't work as well.

I have Windows 10 and I use below settings:

Host IP:192.168.15.244
User: root

Kindle IP: 192.168.15.201
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

[NiLuJe]

If you're confident about the networking aspect being right, try from a real OS with known good drivers for CDC ethernet (e.g., Linux or macOS).

Your win 10 might have inherited a crap RNDIS driver from... something along the way.

(IIRC, win11 is... slightly less stupid).

I get it working. I was confident about IP address cuz all the instructions suggest same one, but they are wrong. At least for K3. It should be 192.168.2.1 and the host 192.168.2.2. Thanks

[NiLuJe]

Oh, right, the .15 subnet is the default for diags and FW 5.x, older devices indeed default to .2
