linux not detecting remarkable 2

[helpmeMAHORAGAheelp]

Hello! I have this really weird issue, I have 5pin pogo cable from aliexpress and a cable with B1 to B5 with 5.1k 0,25A resistor, linux cant find it or read it, windows only reads it as an undefined device. First I tried B8 to B12 using 10k resistor,but it didnt worked out either. Im hoping that you can help me reach some kind of progress, i actually runned out of options Thank you <3

Could you expand on what you mean by Linux can't read it? What is the dmesg output?

Also, why are you trying B1 to B5 with 5.1k 0,25A instead of what is in the instructions?

[helpmeMAHORAGAheelp]

I did it because b8 to b12 didnt work, i mean does it input a device in special mode or smth? Also dmesg -w keep showing "failed to send h2c command".

b8 to b12 is what uboot is looking for to put it into download mode. I've gone through the recovery process myself at this point, and those are the pins I connected with a 10k resistor.

Also dmesg -w keep showing "failed to send h2c command".

Is that the only output? Or is there more? I would expect there to be more.

I will try it in a moment

Have you verified that your pogo connector is in the correct orientation? VCC/VBUS should be the closest pin to the usb-c port. A picture of your setup would prove useful.

The reason imx_usb is failing, is because the device is still not in download mode. You need to see the USB HID v1.10 Device [Freescale SemiConductor Inc SE Blank ULT1] line in dmesg.

It looks like you have two resistors on the breakout board. You should only have the one 10k resistor between B8 and B12. You'll need to make sure your usb-c breakout board is the right way up, as orientation matters.

Here is what my setup looked like, but I have a different breakout board. The resistor is missing in the second photo, as I was already in recovery mode and had removed the resistor before running imx_usb.

I did b8 to b12 and now remarkable is lagged and i cannot turn it off. dmesg -w and imx_usb still dont work

UPDATE

remarkable is no longer lagged and its showing "remarkable is starting" without loading bar dmesg -w still show "failed to send h2c command" and "firmware failed to leave lps state" also a few questions how does the recovery mode look like(does it show smt on remarkable?) How long the programming takes? Do you have to take usb out after the detection or before??? thank you in advance

What do you mean by lagging? Your device should be off at first before you plug in the usb-c breakout board. As per the instructions in the readme.

To power off your device, hold the power button for around 10 seconds. The screen will not update to indicate it has powered off.

how does the recovery mode look like(does it show smt on remarkable?)

The screen will not display anything. You will only know based on the dmesg output.

How long the programming takes?

Programming?

Do you have to take usb out after the detection or before???

B8-B12 need to stay in until after it's detected the device in download mode. Then you can take it out, and then run imx_usb. Which is what the steps in the readme say.

Tysm for trying to help :3
