[Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
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 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 Code:
wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/hostmode/hostmode-scripts_0.1_all.deb 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.

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
Followed the steps one by one.
Create "/ media / flash" Drive does not mount "/ dev/sda1" Rebooting and trying again. |
Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
It seems that does not give power to the pendrive. Pilot lights not connected.
I'll try with full charge battery. |

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
thank you everyone who participated in this project. i need to ask, does it work with an adapter like the one that comes with the n8?

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
@WhiteWolf - not surprising if it doesn't power the pen drive. Try with a device that has own power, e.g., an external HD with own A/C adapter.

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
"mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /media/flash failed: no suck file or directory"
:\ Thanks for all the work and time dispended with this :) |
Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900
I'm using the original cable that came with my N900.
