Guest t0mm13b Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 just a caution: Sven Killig's drivers were for 2.6.29 kernel - quite old (for eclair/froyo), and thus patches required (which are hard to find), btw the linky to his site detailing USB OTG is quite old also. As for 2.6.35. series kernel, think that's already there, just need to be activated and recompiled that is all. Having had killed my blade as a result from the USB OTG, under the thread 'Experimental Kernel', from page 13 in that thread onwards, how the usb otg experiment killed it... nonetheless, be very careful especially with adaptors from china (I still believe it is that cheap-as-chips adapters is what did it Ground/5v reversed). So make sure you get a good adaptor or have some kind of protection in place so that it does not overload and kill the Skate :) Being clueless with electronics, I guess a man-in-the-middle type of custom pcb with a chip that will take the overload and blow out instead of the handset will protect it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Julian Xen Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi there, is there any progress concerning the USB host support? Would be so good. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronc2000 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think this is a feature very very few people need. Hence the inactivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wacky.ddw Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 If i try to play a movie on my skate i have to resize it in handbrake to a 480x800 and if the file is to big the phone starts to lag. So playing a 480x800 file on a HD TV would look crap doesnt it? Or am i missing something? Last time i tried it wouldnt even play .avi files. BTW: its really easy to make such a cable you only have to solder 4 cables. If you dont want to order it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
