and me too couldn't get the hostmode.py script because of the error mentioned in the post above .

About hostmode.py, I'm not sure why but the host doesn't allow hosting py files.
Use the deb http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmod...ts_0.1_all.deb

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
 

I've been having some fun.

I managed to connect a Belkin 4-port hub to my n900.

I've tried connecting a joystick and a mouse. Although they appear on the hub I can't use them.

Also tried connecting an external hard-drive but I don't think it was recognised at all.
The battery was quite low and may have caused problems?

One day will it be possible to charge the device at the same time as using a USB peripheral?

I've attached my log - I hope it's useful.

put an end to it ok?

OT - user-space USB packages
 

I know this thread is about testing ... but I can't easily get hardware (USB adapters/converters) to test with (Amazon and Ebay won't ship to where I am presently ...), but it is great to see progress on this.

However, my desire for USB host features is mainly for non-USB-storage stuff ... specifically getting photos off PTP-only cameras, such as my Canon EOS 500D DSLR.

This should be possible with the hostmode kernel, if the user-space tools (libusb, libgphoto, gphoto2 etc.) are available.

I will try and get a converter in the next 3 weeks or so, and maybe try and look at this myself then, but if others are interested and can make progress in the next 3 weeks, that would be great.

(I don't see any libusb or gphoto packages in the standard + extras-devel repos, let me know if it is already available somewhere)
