I'm thinking about the whole usb stuff right now - and a question came into my mind... What's so different about n900's, that it can't use regular OTG?

From what I read, it's completely normal to have a OTG device, that once acts as client (thus consuming power from usb cable = e.g. charging own batteries), and as a usb host another time (=e.g. powering usb flash stick)... That's the whole point of OTG, or am I wrong?

I can't quite imagine, what nokia guys did with the hardware, when the TI 3430 supports OTG out-of-box (according to specs)... :-/


If the whole solution is about telling chip to set some config bit, it'd be a matter of a few lines in kernel driver/module for that device - if there is a way to tell the chip to do so, of course... But you can't actually write anything until you have the hardware in hands...
