Yes but you need 3rd party software.

Hi. Can you give detailed information about using BA as a usb host? (hardware, software, how to... etc.) Thnx.
Note: In fact I want to use, for example, my usb keyboard or usb hdd on my BA. Is it possible?

card export II enable you to use your BA (any wm device) as mass storage with memory card.
evoluzzione wants to connect a usb flash drive on his BA.
is there something like sd to usb adapter? which connects usb devices to sd ports.
special SD cards has either wifi or usb plug.

USB HOST for pocket PC ????

Hi
i am sure for alot of people out they have searched for something to make their usb devices work on a pocket PC. i have gathered some information with regard to this topic and i hope that other users will add to it so that there is a greater awareness and mayb it will help someone figure out the best way to create 1 for the PPC
right now the there is no external USB host controller for pocket pc.
the reason we need the USB host is so that we can connect external USB devices. but i believe that we also need to load the drivers for devices as well.
wat i think is the way the device should work is the usb host for ppc should have drivers built into it so that when u connect a flash drive for example it can identify it and then send the necessary info into the PPC so that the PPC will then handle it in the correct manner. thereafter on the PPC we will probably find it as an additional drive.
I think that connectivity will actually work via the SDIO and not via the USB port.
If there are any other senior members that can elaborate on this it will be great, it will shed some more light on this feature.
I personally would love to have this feature, not for any specific external device but just the ability to have interoperability with all my usb devices onto my PPC.

there are usb host CF cards i believe
not sure if anybody ever made to test in a himalaya backpack which have a CF card
thing with usb devices is that usb mass storage one 1 generic driver
so one for external hd's sdreaders and usb keyring would be enough

CF USB host
Hi
http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html
do you think that it can be converted from CF to SDIO ?
I actually searched for a CF to SDIO converte but no luck, however even if i do find it what are the chance that it will even work!!
anybody knows more about this ?
reo

it could easy brake because of the size diff
another problem is it would require 2.5watt to power a usb host
not sure if the sd interface can provide that kinda power at all

ok, but considering that we can overlook these obstacles will the converter actually allow for the CF USB to work ?
do you no where i can find a CF to SDIO converter ?

I've got a question about "USB Host" as well... I read somewhere, that some processors are capable of USB Host but the companies didn't do the wiring in their devices. and of course the drivers are missing in Win CE.
So my question is: Can I connect USB-Devices to my PDA if I build a USB-wire where I inject 5V from outside and run linux on my device with USB-support built in the kernel?

USB periphery connections. Artemis O2 Orbit

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone have experience connection USB devices to Artemis?
USN HDD, Card readers. USB hubs.
I am thinking of trying to connect an USB HDD but just wanted to know if anyone done it before

Sofaford, if you get this working let us know over at http://www.xda-orbit.com
I would love to be able to use my external laptop hard drive with my orbit

Due to the USB bus structure ,it is not possible to connect other devices except a host like a PC to the Artemis. The Artemis has only a device controller on board, but You need a host controller, if You will link the USB HDD to the PDA. There are some other PDA's with build in hosts in the market

Got a nas hard drive works on my wireless network. Good at home. Is there a wifi adaptor to use hd out of network range?

RS-232 for Serial Access

Hi there,
I was searching the forums for an RS-232 for serial access and can't find any information as I was wondering if there is a RS-232 cable avaiable for serial access. Like the cables RS-232 to USB converter for laptops to config cisco, juipters and Huawei. I have a RS-232 to USB but it is using a regular USB A plug. So the other question is that is possible to use the regual RS-232 to USB converter with gender change, but I don't think there are any drivers for the accessory for WM6. So it sounds like I have answered my own question . BTW, I am using the Kasier and it would be a great help if I can buy one instead of DIY one like -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=257858
Kengie

would believe it is required for such a device to work that the pda support usb host only Athena does that

Thanks. I though that the Kasier has the OTG (yes it does), but you are right. It doesn't support the USB Host features. Thanks.

if you by OTG mean usb on the go then htc dont seem to use that feature in any of their devices even if the cpu have it included it seems they use their own usb chip

Using a external HDD with WM6

Hi
i was wondering if it is posible to get drivers that enable me to plug a external hard drive into my Hermes using the mini usb port?
any info would be great.
cheers

no only usb host enabled hardware can use usb devices
99% of the htc pdas are not usb host enabled
