Will not connect to Comma 3X

[fazlee712]

I can ssh from windows into the device

but toolkit does not see it

[spektor56]

i can see in the log its scanning the correct IP range but the message box is blocking more of the log. Did you try 1.9.7 release with the discovery update? running a fork on 0.10.0 or later?

I'm seeing the exact same situation. WSL2 and Windows' built-in SSH clients work fine:

It seems to connect, but it keeps saying it couldn't find a device. I generated a key on OpenpilotToolkit itself by logging in into my Github account, and it got added just fine:

OpenpilotToolkit is not very clear about the key being used, but the Comma device is correctly setup to allow connections from the key added by it:

comma@comma-{deviceid}:/data/persist$ grep AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/sshd_config
AuthorizedKeysFile /data/params/d/GithubSshKeys
comma@comma-{deviceid}:/data/persist$ ssh-keygen -lf /data/params/d/GithubSshKeys -E sha256

OpenpilotToolkit logs read a bit weird tho:

2025-10-07 12:21:40.097 -06:00 [INF] Connected to 192.168.50.63 on port 22
2025-10-07 12:21:50.943 -06:00 [ERR] Discovery Timed Out.

Interestingly, a bit later it says its connected:

2025-10-07 12:21:40.097 -06:00 [INF] Connected to 192.168.50.63 on port 22
2025-10-07 12:21:50.943 -06:00 [ERR] Discovery Timed Out.
2025-10-07 12:22:10.601 -06:00 [INF] Connected to Comma3 device at 192.168.50.63 on port 22

Seems it timesout before it recognizes the connection has been established?

Logs on the comma show that seems to be the case. Here are logs before running OpenpilotToolkit:

comma@comma-{deviceid}:/data/persist$ sudo netstat -tnpa | grep ssh

... and then after, when OpenpilotToolkit says it couldn't connect:

comma@comma-{deviceid}:/data/persist$ sudo netstat -tnpa | grep ssh

ps tells a similar story:
