Yeah, the "
fastboot manifesto" says "all kindles", which was correct when it was posted. But since then kindles were introduced that do not have a "magic key" (though recent kindles DO have a pair of "USB BOOT" pads (for a missing push-button switch) inside them, which sounds suspiciously like our "magic key"). With a little research, perhaps we can add modern kindles to Kubrick (with instructions how to open them and press the "invisible magic button" (i.e. jumper across the missing push-button pads).
Of course, from what I have learned recently, according to FreeScale docs, *ALL* USB VID 15a2 are dedicated to USB Downloader mode, so we may need to stop checking the USB PID in that case, so that kubrick CAN work with newer kindles (after jumpering across that missing
USB BOOT switch inside the newer kindles).
