Guest itnewbie Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 Hello all, I just saw the usb host mode support: http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/ ;) It would be great to have it in Acer Liquid Rom (1.6 ~ 2.2), because touch screen keyboard is hard for me to do editing on the road. ...... extract from the great site.. su insmod drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko insmod drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko insmod drivers/hid/usbhid/usbhid.ko insmod drivers/usb/storage/usb-storage.ko # Wait for usb-storage.ko to enumerate partitions ...... Seems like we need some .ko usb drivers..... Will this dream comes true :( ? Best Regards, Itnewbie
Guest liquid_it Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 Assuming Liquid usb hardware implementation can manage usb host, and I'm not sure it can, we still need kernel sources to compile and insert some modules (the .ko files) to use usb host itself. We have Donut kernel sources (well, sort of, thanks to acer), but still nothing for eclair (which hasn't been even released).
Guest itnewbie Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 USB host mode support for our Acer liquid, it would be possible to recongise any USB storage device, usb keyboard, usb mouse, display output from usb display link .... :( Most likely, it will turn our phone to be a "portable computer". Since we have the Donut kernel sources, hopes our rom's development expert can include in 2.2 FRF50_Liquid-Porting project (because the kernel is based on 2.6.29, Donut kernel 1.6), it would be other surprise to us. ;) Best Regards
Guest beming Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 Who do this in fact. I want to use the usb host mode too.

Maybe I have missed something, but this : http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Do...cer&SC=PA_4 isn't Eclair Source Kernel ?? :)
Guest ahsid Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 Maybe I have missed something, but this : http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Do...cer&SC=PA_4 isn't Eclair Source Kernel ?? :) It came out 2 weeks ago...
Guest nameless' Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 It came out 2 weeks ago... Yeah I know, it wasn't me saying Eclair sources haven't been released yet.....
Guest liquid_it Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 Yeah I know, it wasn't me saying Eclair sources haven't been released yet..... It was me, but it was just before sources were released.. :)
Guest nameless' Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 It was me, but it was just before sources were released.. :D Oh yeah sorry, didn't seen the post date :)
Guest phhusson Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 I enabled OTG in my Donut kernels for Froyo (see those old posts.), it does detect the A or B type cable, enables usb host controler, but I've no usb otg device, the liquid can't provide with vbus, and I don't have Y cable for power .... Anyway, that means that you might wnat to test :) Of course there is no android integration, so if you want to test, you must have correct linux knowledge, and correct hardware.
Guest liquid_it Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Of course there is no android integration, so if you want to test, you must have correct linux knowledge, and correct hardware. That's good, btw.. maybe mass storage and hid devices will work with not so much troubles.. Btw, any chance to see your (feature loaded) boot.img for new rom? Still using you 920 with SVS, ramzswap and TS hack and I love it..

Guest P1on3R Posted October 1, 2010 Report Posted October 1, 2010 Hi people! So may be who is made up the host mode in our device? :lol:
Guest Ooze3d Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 It'd be great to have usb OTG capabilities on our device... Is anyone working on this?? Thanks.
