Connect to your BB10 device through ssh
Create session using blackberry-connect, this tool resides inside your SDK dirs, the host dir i.e
$(BBSDK)/host_10_0_9_404/darwin/x86/usr/bin/blackberry-connect
$ blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password <password> -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa
Then,
create a config file inside ~/.ssh folder
Host bb10
HostName 169.254.0.1
User devuser
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa
$ ssh bb10
DONE!

I think that the command should be:

blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa.pub

And not:

blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/bb10/id_rsa

Since you need to send the public key to the device, but the local machine should use the private key

Hi,
may I ask some help about the following issue ?

Using the following command,
./blackberry-connect 169.254.0.1 -password mypassword -sshPublicKey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

I always get ;
Info: Connecting to target 169.254.0.1:4455
Error: Connection failed: connect timed out

I've setup developper mode on my target device, nmap on host confirms that 169.254.0.1 is up, 1000 ports filtered ..
telnet 169.254.0.1 4455 obviously times out as well...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
