because some functions of kernel seems to be in place the single problem i see is vbus power management in host mode as i see host mode depend on this
on N900 vbus power management is broken because it use another asic OUTSIDE tusb6010 for which driver is not written.
on N810 this driver work so somebody must check with a patched driver ( with removed sections of vbus power ) if any device can work without vbus.
after that we can hope n900 will do the same
vbus will and can be a future option in driver / selection mode software
few weeks ago ( beginning of march ) i tried to inject vbus & session_valid on phy asic http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=619 ( i will post a picture with test board )
i never believe the driver and HNP can be so grossly as manual removal of device from pc
i try the same thing as egoshin ( conect / disconect from a hub ) . http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=624 .
tight usb timings blinded me .i have no success because i did not stop ( nasty word here ) bme

Applied the patches (they only seem to add a kernel message when echoing host), kernel built and flashed.
Raised power output to 5V using joerg_rw's command.
However I still can't get it to work, the flash drive gets rejected.

[edit]
ok, seems we killed that issue by patching out a few rather useless checks in kernel. Probably MohammadAG will come up with a small and dirty patch eventually. No big thing though. Still the fake hostmode by tricking OTG statemachine, I.E needs laptop to simulate the yet missing switch of PHY to host config (2 pulldowns)

guys, I have some news about bme's i2c communication with bq24150.
Be aware that this is ALL communication to bq24150 through the kernel. Not necessarily only by BME.

initialisation (contains some nonsense IMHO):
Code:
i2c-2 (W): 0x3b, (R) 1 bytes, 	// read register 0x3b (wraps to 0x03, datasheet states otherwise!)
i2c_read:  0x4b			// result: Vendor/Part/Revision
i2c-2 (W): 0x3b, (R) 1 bytes,	// same
i2c_read:  0x4b
i2c-2 (W): 0x00, (R) 1 bytes,	// read status/control register
i2c_read:  0x00			// reset state should be x1xx 0xxx (datasheet)
i2c-2 (W): 0x00 0x80,		// reset safety timer
i2c-2 (W): 0x02, (R) 1 bytes,	// read control/battery register
i2c_read:  0x8c			// 3.5V + 700mV
i2c-2 (W): 0x02 0x8c,		// set control/battery to same value
i2c-2 (W): 0x00, (R) 1 bytes,	// read status
i2c_read:  0x00
i2c-2 (W): 0x00 0x00,		// write status
i2c-2 (W): 0x01, (R) 1 bytes,	// read control register
i2c_read:  0x06			// charger disabled, high impedance
i2c-2 (W): 0x01 0x06,		// set to same value
i2c-2 (W): 0x00, (R) 1 bytes,	// read status
i2c_read:  0x00
i2c-2 (W): 0x01, (R) 1 bytes,	// read control register
i2c_read:  0x06			// same as above
i2c-2 (W): 0x01 0x06,		// set to same value again
i2c-2 (W): 0x01, (R) 1 bytes,	// read again
i2c_read:  0x06
i2c-2 (W): 0x01 0x06,		// write again
every 15s:
Code:
i2c-2 (W): 0x00 0x80,		// reset safety timer
i2c-2 (W): 0x00, (R) 1 bytes,	// read status
i2c_read:  0x00
i2c-2 (W): 0x02, (R) 1 bytes,	// read control/battery register
i2c_read:  0x8c
i2c-2 (W): 0x04, (R) 1 bytes,	// read battery termination/fast charge current register
i2c_read:  0xca			// charge current sense voltage = 27.2mV
				// termination current sense voltage = 6.8mV
nothing too special, yet. But the printk's can be usefull when trying to find out how BME destroys VBUS, etc…

The diff for my printk's are attached.

those messages are obtained with high power charger attached , right ?
so nothing special , bme reset 32 s timer 4 times per minute . too often i think but in charge mode any battery savings is nonsense.
bme don't destroy vbus , simply bme have no idea ( and code ) about vbus and host mode status.
code is written only for charging mode not charge or boost vbus

We might want to operate hostmode without burning battery for VBUS boost, by using an externally powered hub.

Yeah we want to give our baby more energy, not take energy from it.

Report This | #1
Someone on one of the forums mentioned that the 'Memorex Travellink' could be used to transfer files from the n900 to a USB memory stick so I bought one.

Needless to say it did not work first time, but I thought it was still worth it because I could read and copy the SD card with it, so it would still be usable when I start travelling later on in the year.

Somebody posted an app to mount an exterior partition, so I downloaded it, plugged a USB stick into the Travellink and the n900 USB link 'coz I thought I could mount the stick with the downloaded app.

Much to my pleasant surprise, the Travellink was able to see files on my n900 and transfer them to my USB memory stick without the use of a PC or laptop, also it not did not need the mounter wizard.

What might have happened the first time is, I tried to do it without a fully charged battery, this time I tried with a fully charged battery, the perfect accessory for the traveller who wants to shoot lots of videos and store them on the road without carrying lots of kit.

The Travellink runs on three AA batteries, which I would imagine can be bought all over the planet.

Compiled a kernel that works (finally! - thanks to joerg_rw for pointing out how to stop any power limits - my flash apparently needs more power).
I'll post a patch shortly.

I also got an HDD working, using the laptop as a power source, and without any "real" hub in between (using a Y cable though).

The echo host > ... part is redundant and doesn't do anything, so it can be left out.
Not sure about the patches, but it seems they only add messages to the kernel messages. Also I had to edit the .config file directly not the one in arch/arm/configs, since that didn't change anything (thanks to javispedro for that one)

Making the drive appear in file manager is **** easy, just create a directory in /media and mount the drive/flash to it.
