Support for Kindle D01100 (aka 4th gen) #3

Hello.

I think I am having trouble running this software due to missing icons or something? I am using a Kindle 4th gen with:

I get error message: [root@kindle weatherstation]# ./kindle-weather.sh ./kindle-weather.sh: line 27: cannot create /sys/devices/system/fl_tps6116x/fl_tps6116x0/fl_intensity: nonexistent directory ./kindle-weather.sh: line 34: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 36: cannot create /sys/devices/platform/mxc_epdc_fb/graphics/fb0/rotate: nonexistent directory ./kindle-weather.sh: line 41: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 42: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 43: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 44: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 45: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 46: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 47: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 48: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 49: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 50: stop: not found ./kindle-weather.sh: line 51: stop: not found date: invalid date '@1627283319' ./kindle-weather.sh: line 145: cannot create /sys/devices/system/fl_tps6116x/fl_tps6116x0/fl_intensity: nonexistent directory 3 wpa_cli v0.6.10 Copyright (c) 2004-2009, Jouni Malinen j@w1.fi and contributors This program is free software.

Ok. So to fix the missing stop command i replaced the "stop" entries with:

start-stop-daemon -K -n 'name-of-service'

Looks like you have to adjust kindle-weather.sh according to your device. The script defaults to PW2. I can't say from the top of my head if PW3 is the same as 4th gen PW.

E.g. for FBROTATE and BACKLIGHT you need to find the corresponding pathes in /sys/devices.

./kindle-weather.sh: line 27: cannot create /sys/devices/system/fl_tps6116x/fl_tps6116x0/fl_intensity: nonexistent directory is telling you exactly that.

Seems like pretty much everything in the script does not work for your device. :-| fbink and rtcwake are not in the path either.

Alright, i'll try and snoop around to see if I can find equivalent paths :D

Seems a lot of stuff is not working. I think it would require a rewrite of much of the scripts as you also hinted. I think this is more than I personally can handle as I am not very fluent in 'bash' - and seeing as the Kindle 4th is 8 years old, there is probably not many people who would find this useful.

Examples of stuff that doesn't work: date -d @unixtime stop 'service' (this has to be start-stop-demon -K -n 'name-of-service') wpa_cli set_network $id group.... only supports 1 argument and not 2, same for proto and pairwise.
