Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Updated to Titan 41 (without USB hostmode) via the auto updater. No problems so far. Used CPU Frequency to set it back to 1.15GHz. :)

But it would be great to connect my n900 via serialline to a project at my work :-D

Hi, I do not see any problems with that, just the right drivers compiled in the kernel will do the job.
Here are some tests:
1. FT232BL
Consummation - 26.57mA
2. AU9720
Consummation - 19.54mA
h-e-n - Full Speed hostmode ( Low Speed hostmode -same consummation)
3.Compared to my USB 2GB Bamboo Flash - Hi Speed hostmode
Consummation - 81mA (Read), and up to 127mA (Write) more

yes.

(searching is fun!)

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I really detects and lists a lot riding forever but the devices failed. Assembling partitions by hand does not fail.

If you have more than one partition not mounted. I recommend to modify script to list the partitions and create directories in "/ media" based on the volume label.

I get to read pen drives without external power supply but after a few minutes and I fail to detect and mount again.

Thanks for the great work.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I have i tiny problem..

I installed h-e-n and it was working and booting into the host-mode kernel perfectly, but then i went to install NITdroid and of course multi boot with that.
Now it doesn't boot into hostmode kernel but into omap1 and the option 0 and option 1 in multi boot boots into omap1

I can boot into hostmode with the flasher on my pc but then if i do a restart, it boots into omap again!

I created a multiboot .item that looks similar to the omap1.item

But not sure where to put the kernel for the .item to work.
In /boot/multiboot/ I found the omap1 and Nitdroid kernels, so then i also put the hostmode kernel in there and renamed it to: "vmlinuz-2.6.28-hostmode2"

Does all of this sound right or am i completely wrong lol??

Install Bluetooth HID scripts. Run app MouseCursor. Connect mouse with low speed hostmode and mount.

Err, the mount button is for mass storage devices, /dev/sda1 only for now (working on it!), a mouse can't be "mounted"
