Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

hasnt anyone solved the problem of multiboot yet?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Another feedback, I was able to connect memory card reader (Apacer) with 4 slots, where I inserted 3 memory cards at the same time. H-e-n couldn't mount them, but I do it through x-terminal. Only one card was able to be mounted at the time. I used this commands:

Code:

#mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/flash

#mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/flash

#mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/flash

#mount -t vfat /dev/sdd1 /media/flash

Awesome guys!

Here is the video on how 8Gb Flash drive works and battery usage after copying 1.46GB movie to the phone;

I only made the UI and packaged it nicely with a kernel mate (as well as testing with the team), I don't deserve a donation for hostmode, feel free to ask Paul though :)

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

hey Mo which based kernel is used for host mode ? default one ? or titans or whatever other kernel ?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I don't know how to get logs, but I discovered without that what is causing reboots. It happens when I load battery module. :D
I'm using Queen BeeCon widget and I load kernel profile and battery module at the same time. I have this line in widget:

Code:

echo "modprobe bq27x00_battery" | sudo gainroot

MohammadAG, I get a clue about it, because you mention that reboot can happen if battery is low.

Is it possible to have hostmode without loosing temperature (battery) monitoring? :confused:

*yawn* (sorry)
That's an age old known issue - bq27x00_battery.ko breaks bme, so dsme on finding bme dead meat decides to reboot.
Anyway thanks for reporting.
Maybe you want to vote for https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9314, or hope for jrbme which will come in a few days with a first pre-alpha for hostmode (mentioned in a prev post)

[edit] oops, I missed your questions. For now there's nothing monitoring battery and even less temperature during hostmode. Temperature shouldn't usually become a big issue though (no charging). Jrbme has battery voltage monitoring and over-temperature shutdown on its requirement specs list. Not sure how far we'll get for temperature without any little hint from Nokia though.
cheers

looks nifty, looks good. Please get one for me as well ;-D

DO NOT buy this one: http://www.allekabels.nl/USB-Adapter...A-ADAPTER.html !
it's a ``correct'' one, like the OTG adapter for N8. They don't fit to N900.

latest update:
I suggested to have a proper version for detection hostmode API semantics, so any GUI etc won't be tied to a particular kernel flavour anymore

kernel-power specifies Provides: kernel-feature-usbhost
I suggest to add this to your hostmode kernel and let hostmode-gui depend on it this feature.

I'll integrate Paul's patch in the next upload.
