Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Ok, I ve got working that too. Two things I noticed as they mentioned also here:
1. It doesn't auto mount
2. it "sees" memory stick as read-only

Thanks for all your effort and keep doing great things for Maemo and N900.

They are just not mounted properly - I'm pretty much sure. You can read log to confirm this

Not likely. 3G dongles draw a LOT of power, whilst (for the moment at least) the N900 can only output 200mA of current, compared to a regular USB port which can output 500mA (and sometimes more). You could try it but I doubt you'd have much luck and I'm not sure the driver for it would be included in the kernel (though that could be easily fixed so long as there is a linux driver for it).

Maybe you should consider getting a MiFi instead, they are also more convenient than connecting a dongle and have their own battery,

Ok, I did not get my Logitech Rumblepad 2 to be detected, but I was able to get an older Sidewinder Gamepad (Freestyle Pro) to work in low speed mode and be available as normal joystick. Here's a small utility that will use SDL to read joystick input and convert it into keyboard events (the axes map to keyboard arrows, the buttons to different keys). Useful for playing emulator games with USB joysticks/gamepads:

http://thp.io/2010/maemo/jsthingie (Source: http://thp.io/2010/maemo/jsthingie.c)

For now, only digital pads are supported (no analog joysticks due to the primitive logic that is used to determine direction for arrow keys) and you have to have SDL installed, uinput loaded (modprobe uinput) and you either have to give correct permissions to /dev/input/uinput or make sure that you run jsthingie as root.

This is my log of the sandisk (I think). Can some one tell me what am I doing wrong then.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Noticed a wierd problem with fm-module. I tried to activate it but it says that fm failed to start or something like that. Also, bluetooth name change to "BCMXXX (some number) Initialization configuration"
had a powerkernel before flashing to hostmode.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I've got a question.. So If I plug in something that is being powered externally.. mm say my dslr.. I power it up and connect it to my phone and follow the steps..

Would there be like a backup current flow from the camera to the phone? and if there would be.. would it harm my phone?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

kernel-power with hostmode added into it.
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmod..._2010/power40/
Download all packages there and dpkg -i them, no step by step tuts since it is after all... for power users.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I've tried a 2Gb pendrive Toahiba and it has worked without external power and I played a movie.

"Gran Torino."
