Hello i am sorry to bother you, but do you know if the twl4030 USB chipset that is in the N900 supports USB OTG or being a USB host on hardware level?
I am basically asking if we will ever see USB host functionality on the N900 in the future.
This would help a lot in my humble homebrew coding and homebrew hardware development.
The reply was as follows:
no it won't support host mode. ID pin is missing on that board and there's no way to force it to ground on SW side.

I have sent a new mail to ask about an external wire from the usb port to ground on the battery but my guess is to no avail
