I just have a question before I start my USB host attempts.
(And yes, I have been reading and searching the forums. :-)

If you enable USB hose mode, does the 770 no longer work as a USB client?
I found this searching (see, I did search!)
(As root)
command to put it into host mode:
echo host > /sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode
command to put it into peripheral mode:
echo peripheral > /sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode
So, do I need to flash (--enable-usb-host-mode) it AND do this, or does the flashing just do that?
(seems a bit weird if that's all the flasher did with that option, but..)
Do I use to flasher to enable it so it will boot with support and load drivers and then I can toggle it off and on with the above?

Also, most of the references I've seen mention flashing with RD mode AND USB host. Do I need to do that? Can I just enable usb host without RD mode? I am already root, so I don't need RD for that. Does USB host require RD mode?

Thanx in advance.
