alrighty. I have qemu installed and Amazon source code downloaded. I also installed all the packages required to build the Amazon toolchain in the source code notes.
Not sure what to do next... #### requested info Linux distro: Linux kernel version 3.16.0-4-686-pae, Debian version 8.6 (so that is jessie?), 3.16.36-1+deb8u2 (2016-10-19) i686 with gcc version 4.8.4 A uname -a on the PW2 shows that it is running 3.0.35 Linux kindle 3.0.35-lab126 #2 PREEMPT Fri Oct 21 14:34:54 PDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux |

I am still looking for enough disk space. It looks like I will have to do a hardware update to this, my last working, computer. A rather scary thought, since it might never work again if I try that. Still working on a "Progris Riport" for my psychiatrist visit next week. (Yes, I can confirm, a person has to be crazy to do this stuff for a half-century.) If you haven't already, subscribe to this thread (thread tools above) and in your CP set mails to 'immediate' (I think the default is weekly batch). Last edited by knc1; 11-04-2016 at 11:20 AM. |

Hot plugging USB
If people are still interested, I am very close to having a kernel module that would allow plugging and unplugging a USB Keyboard, so you don't have to restart the kindle-evdev program when you unplug.
I am now trying to decide if it is worth making it work like a real keyboard - report that it has certain keys, and caps lock, etc. so that it can work with all the evtest and association programs, so things like Xorg can check if its a keyboard or mouse automatically. Or if I should keep it more like /dev/input/mice, where it just gives you the input. The second form would let it work with any programs we write, including the existing kindel-evdev from lucida. I need to test that form and see if I manually specify it as a keyboard if it will work in xorg, instead of trying to use the auto stuff. |

Where did you compile that OTG enumeration into, which one of the modules? I'm working on my hot pluggable keyboard module, and I swore that I hid and usbhid working with your files, but today again I am getting the keyboard connecting and disconnectng. Code:
170418:193508 [ 1474.443810] otg_enum_fn not enumerated, catcha! 170418:193508 [ 1474.454052] fsl_otg_event ID changed to [0] during work 170418:193508 [ 1474.454259] asking for device mode and in host mode, thats okay 170418:193508 [ 1474.454285] switch to gadget 170418:193515 [ 1480.663787] 170418:193515 [ 1480.663798] Schedule OTG enumeration triggered recovery 170418:193515 [ 1480.674900] switch to host? 170418:193523 [ 1488.683826] otg_enum_fn not enumerated, catcha! 170418:193523 [ 1488.694063] fsl_otg_event ID changed to [0] during work 170418:193523 [ 1488.694271] asking for device mode and in host mode, thats okay 170418:193523 [ 1488.694297] switch to gadget 170418:193529 [ 1494.903776] 170418:193529 [ 1494.903786] Schedule OTG enumeration triggered recovery 170418:193529 [ 1494.914914] switch to host? This is on paperwhite 3, version 5.8.5.0.2 Looks like I may have got a new OS version sometime since the last time I tried it, but generally it is working, just the connection and disconnection. Any thoughts? |

Sorry to necro this old thread, but is there any chance that you have finished work on this module? I've checked your github, but didn't see it... I'm still quite interested :-) Thanks |

I just tested this with fw 5.9.2.0.1, a USB OTG "Y" connector (injects power to device) with a keyboard plugged in, and by SSH over wifi, "evtest /dev/input/event2" generates keyboard events. This is exciting for me because I'd like to use the kindle as a writing device.
I don't see the required (i think) "keybdev.ko" in the zip (see http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html ) so not sure if that's built into the kernel or what. |

And the winner is:
"or what" Not needed by Kindle, so not built by Amazon. You get to build it yourself (from the Amazon sources). |

https://github.com/coplate/HotswapInput It worked when I uploaded it, but special attention probably needs to be paid to the `makexconfig` script. they probably updated that. I think my last post here with the thing just connecting and disconnecting was a problem using the factory version, but I can't really remember. |

If the USB OTG service is not disabled post removing the OTG device can it result in higher idle drain?
