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

Can anybody port this to universal.
USB host driver
http://a-bishop.com/2006/10/16/enabling-usb-host-on-eten-m600g500m500wm5/
It works on Eten m600 via a cradle which i believe provides power..
Can any body port this to Uni.
afaik you need a usb host capable usb chip, which we don't have (i might be wrong). obviously the eten's usb chip does include host capabilities and this driver just provides the interface between this and the operating system.
however i may be talking bull as its been a while since i read up about this, maybe someone else knows for sure?
I have been informed from a source that the chip in Universal is capable to support USB host functionality. But no driver is there, also an external power has to be provided to the connected device.
I'll try this driver on my Universal.
These drivers hang up the universal

Universal has an USB host, it is working and drivers are present in ROM. But it is used only to conenct to its internal GSM module. The USB port we have on the side is a usual USB slave (not even USB OTG).
Greetings again is it possible hardware/ software wise to access a usb pen drive throught the mini usb .
no it require that the pda support usb host and the hardware in artemis dont
Hello:
I use Nexus One before, and there is a USB host mode driver which enables Nexus One's USB host function, I can connect some USB device to it, it's awesome ^_^
Now I switched to Desire HD, so is there any usb host mode driver for it now??
Thanks very much~~~
I was just thinking if DHD can do this the other day, I would too love to know about this.
?
Ok, I saw this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742&page=1
My question: Can that mod let me connect a USB-VGA adapter to a Desire?
Thanks!
Yeah, USB-VGA adapter will works if usb host mode driver works...
Does this usb host mode driver for Desire also works for Desire HD??
any updates? anyone figured or tried anything? whether it worked or didn't work?
would love to use a gamepad or keyboard I have the adapter that goes to female usb too

Hi
Can someone answer if USB OTG is supported on the One V
using stock kernel and ROM?
Regards
max
EDIT: After some searching I found that "official" it is not suported
What surprises me is that in the kernel configuration of the stock
kernel all options are set that I would assume to allow OTG
e.g. there is something like
...
CONFIG_USB_MSM_OTG:
Enable this to support the USB OTG transceiver on MSM chips
...
Would be nice if someone could enable this for One V. This kernel project is enabling OTG for One X http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640532
Otg only works in bootloader....

Actually we are talking here about USB-Host support and not USB-OTG

Isn't it the same?
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host allowing a USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached and also connecting USB peripherals directly for communication purposes among them.

USB-OTG also means that you dont necessarily need a powered hub to use it AFAIK
And USB-OTG means that "both sides" can act as a client or a host
From your link above
...
USB OTG defines two roles of devices: OTG A-device and OTG B-device. This terminology defines which side supplies power to the link, and which is initially the host. The OTG A-device is a power supplier, and an OTG B-device is a power consumer. The default link configuration is that A-device act as USB Host and B-device is a USB peripheral. The host and peripheral modes may be exchanged later by using HNP. Because every OTG controller supports both roles, they are often called "Dual-Role" controllers rather than "OTG controllers"
...
Whereas USB-Host means that the android device is always the host
Since the HTC is not providing power on its USB port you always
need to use a powered usb hub in this case.
I am pretty sure that we can have USB-Host on the V since other devices
using exactly the same chipset can do it. But I still need to do some investigation

Hi Guys
See attached screenshot and notice the "mouse pointer"
So it means we will have USB host support!
Actually not much was "missing" the guys at HTC just
"forgot" to register the usb host driver on init
At the moment the "mode" musst be switched manually
between "host" and "peripheral" which means e.g. charger a.s.o
The automatic switch based on using a OTG cable is not working
or I have the wrong cable
SO I was able to connect a active hub with a mouse and it works
Next thing will be a usb storage device
I will still need some more time to finalize this.
This will then continue in the Titanium-KISS kernel thread

Lol why do you have an app for screen shots?

Hi
Just a short update
-OTG cable detect working
that means switching between host and peripheral (normal) mode works
automatically. No need for a script anymore
-USB keyboard tested and works
-USB storage is still killing me

Hi
Just found a nice other xda thread about USB host

I tried connecting a USB keyboard using an USB OTG cable, but I didn't get it to work. The other USB port is in use by my external harddrive.
Is there a possibility to make the keyboard work?
Can immagine more people want to add a second USB device to their OUYA...

You'll need to buy a USB HUB (Get a powered one to future proof all your USB needs, you can get a USB 2.0 Hub pretty cheap). This will allow you to hook up at least 3 USB's to the OUYA. The Micro USB won't work for things such as hard drives or HID devices.
In the future, please use the search function before posting as this has been talked about in many other posts.

I have a 4-port hub and it works fine connecting 1 storage and 3 other usb devices
I had this issue where only one harddrive could be used and If you have a harddrive with 2 partitions ouya wont mount it. Luckily I found an app called usbotghelper which does all the above I mentioned plus read and write and ext3 support. I wish it would get submitted to the ouya store so I could use the paid version that will mount on startup.
