ReMarkable 2
Introduction
The reMarkable 2 is the second generation paper tablet from reMarkable.
It's not a tablet replacement - that's not what it's meant for. You can't surf on the internet with the stock firmware and you can't play any games. Instead it is aimed a writing, taking notes and drawing.
But it's a beautiful device and the best: it runs Linux. And as of now reMarkable doesn't hinder you on accessing the device via ssh. So let's see how to do that.
Getting the information
Got to the settings of yor reMarkable 2 and choose Help.
Now choose Copyrights and licenses.
A closer zoomup of the important area:
As you can see the pixelated area is your personal root password. When you are connected over USB you will see the first IP address and if you are connected over WIFI you will also see the second one. You will need one of the two to access your device.
Connecting over ssh
I'm trying to connect to my ReMarkable 2 over USB. So we need the first IP address: 10.11.99.1
Grab your terminal emulator of choice and type in:
ssh root@10.11.99.1
If asked for accepting the fingerprint type yes - we are going to trust the device.
Now type in the root password you got from the Copyrights and licenses section.
And tada! You are connected as root to your very own reMarkable 2.
