maemo.org - Talk - [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

Actually, you just need to reboot, this is related to some issue with bme not starting up properly if you disconnect in a certain sequence.

apt-get --reinstall install kernel kernel-modules kernel-flasher to restore stock kernel, this isn't really for noobs...

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

Now I have two questions:
1. What could be the reason for the aborted boot?
2. Is it possible to multiboot power40 and hostmode?

@kuavo15 I believe MuhammadAG has answered you with this:

apt-get --reinstall install kernel kernel-modules kernel-flasher

to restore stock kernel, this isn't really for noobs... ;)

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

MohammadAG,
FYI:
I notice that when I shutdown from nitdroid to hostmode kernel , boot fails !
I need to boot either kernel-power40 or kernel-omap1.

Booting sometimes fails due to the framebuffer, it might reboot a maximum of three times then it'll boot again.

Now we need ~~mkisofs~~, cdrecord, and a GUI for burning discs :)

Using a hub is recommended when using hostmode, if the hub works, _ALL_ devices work, including mice (testing with qole's scripts), keyboards (keymap is ****), drives, flashes etc...

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

IT WORKS !!!

I used your setup :

http://www.clickshop.com/custom/imag...duct-17857.jpg +http://www1.dealextreme.com/producti...46_2_small.jpg+Micro USB Cable (Samung one) = Success !!

I read on USB OTG for N8XX, that the converter http://www.usbfirewire.com/Parts/images/rr-2030.jpg
I used before, already integrates OTG.

After the boot crash that I had, eventhough I choose 2.6.28-hostmode1 in the multiboot menu, after the uname -a command, the output is 2.6.28-kernelpower40.
So I booted on the kernel 2.6.28-omap1 and just reinstalled the 3 kernel package you provided in the correct order.
Then I could boot the 2.6.28-hostmode1 kernel.

And Finally Thanks a lot for the job achieved ! It is awesome !

BIG THANKS guys - Great job!
Here is my result:
first a couple of times did not work properly(may be around 7-9).
I fallow strictly all rules that MohammadAG wrote in his first post.
especially that one:

Quote:

Step 6: Click Hostmode VBUS, connect flash drive when you see Starting BME.

-first because I was in a hurry, I did not pay attention that I miss to install i2c-tools, that was fixed after first reboot, but still the things did not worked...:confused:
-after an hour of rebooting and hunting the time between Start BME and connect USB now - I was too excited so I needed an hour to coll down... waiting the light of my drive to light on...

Finally I got the multimeter and plug one naked female connector and start looking what and when is coming out form N900? I have 5.12V even with less than a half empty battery.
So the sequence for me working ONLY IF I wait to plug my usb/hub/mouse/keyboard/usb2sata(IDE) controller as fallows:
1st-Click Hostmode VBUS, 2nd- Start BME, 3rd-Connect now USB and finally - wait 5 seconds, then everything is working, USB Flash powers up, then I need to press mount /dev/sda1, and Ye-it works!
If I connect before that it does not work!

There a small issue when connecting only single flash drive flexxxv wrote about it but with HUB+external power the issue not present.
I tried to connect the fallowing things:
1.flash drive 2GB /Transcend-Bamboo/ FAT32 - WORKING!
2.HDD 2.5" 320GB Transcend-StoreJet - 160GB NTFS + Truecrypt second partition - it appiared in /dev/sd*, but can not be mounted, no ntfs kernel module loaded, tried to install and load form stock kernel but failed (witch was obvious but..).
3.flash drive 8GB Kingston - Travelstar - NTFS - same stroy
4.keyboard GuoYu :D - working after connect/disconnect/connect - not all keys mapped correctly (digits and ctrl,shift,alt not working)
5.mouse usb wireless 2.4GHz Logitech VX Nano, some kind working but not correctly.
6.usb to SATA/IDE/2.5"IDE converter 1st connected with 2.5"IDE2CF (4GB SANDISK Ultra - 3 ext2 partitions), tried to mount failed for unknown reason?? its appeared in /dev/sdc1,2,5 kernel module for ext2 is there but

Quote:

mount -t ext2 /dev/sdc1 /media/flash

fail.
7.usb to SATA (same adapter) connected to LG DVD RW, with external supply - no success here at all /for now/

!!!PLEASE WARNING DO NOT TRY THIS!!!
Clicking on VBUS default - cut off the power (5.12V) coming form USB, but Hostmode CHARGING not working for me...
!!!PLEASE WARNING DO NOT PLAY WITH THIS!!!

I will not have time to make patches right now, but I'm ready to test more, more devices like usb2wlan, usb2lan , Web cam (just for fun), all-in-one card reader, smart card reader (I'll banking from N900 :eek: ...and more :)
Some not good pictures ...

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

http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Sep%2025%202010/
Location above contains the same kernel updated with more modules.
Should support NTFS RW, UDF, and ISOFS, so you should be able to use NTFS formatted devices as well as externally powered DVD drives.

I also compiled and uploaded genisoimage, which contains mkisofs.
http://maemo.org/packages/view/genisoimage/
No instructions for the time being, but you should, theoretically (not tested actually) be able to write to DVDs with cdrecrod (when I compile that).

Logs are always welcome, whether it worked or not.

First of all, thanks to joerg_rw for kicking off the hostmode project, and sarahn for the patches, as well as all the devs involved in the project.
The patches are the same ones released in May/June, with a proper method to reproduce them.

This is a prealpha release, although it works on my device, it has NOT been tested on any other devices (kernel is safe though).
Also, DON'T play with i2cset without knowing what to do, the commands in the UI are safe, but don't feel free to experiment with them.

This post by joerg_rw summarizes the main points about this release

You will need to a female to female USB adapter, and the stock USB cable.
Do all the commands below as root.

Step 1: Download kernel-hostmode packages:

Code:

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Jul%2027%202010/kernel-hostmode-flasher_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Jul%2027%202010/kernel-hostmode-modules_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/Jul%2027%202010/kernel-hostmode_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

Step 2: Install packages in this order:

Code:

dpkg -i kernel-hostmode_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb kernel-hostmode-modules_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

Code:

dpkg -i kernel-hostmode-flasher_2.6.28-20102201+0m5-hostmode1_armel.deb

Step 3: Download hostmode scripts package:

Code:

wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/hostmode-scripts_0.1_all.deb

apt-get install i2c-tools python2.5 python2.5-qt4

dpkg -i hostmode-scripts_0.1_all.deb

Step 4: Reboot the device.
Step 5: Start terminal, type root, then python /root/hostmode.py
Step 6: Click Hostmode VBUS, connect flash drive when you see Starting BME.

Using the mount /dev/sda1 button should create a dir in /media and mount the node there, use the filemanager to view stuff on the flash stick, I have successfully copied 2.6GBs and 1.7GBs, to two different devices, a WD MyBook (1TB in size), and a flash stick 4GBs in size, playing music off of it worked as expected.

Looking forward to patches and kernel logs :)
Refer to https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1660 for all files related to the project except binaries.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/h-e-n/

To compile packages from the sources (in scratchbox)

Code:

apt-get source kernel

cd kernel-2.6.28

wget https://garage.maemo.org/frs/download.php/8384/fullpatchrevision2.diff

patch -p1 <fullpatchrevision2.diff

fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b

Hi and thank you for this.
I have some problems becouse at step 3 (when i write apt-get install i2c-tools python2.5 python2.5-qt4) i see this:

reading package list... done
building dependency tree
reading state information... done
package i2c-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
this may mean that the package is missing, has been obsolated, or is only available from another source
e: package i2c-tools has no installation candidate

Now how i can install i2c??

thank you
Livio
