Correct, power injection I'm assuming will be a must.

I visited yesterday in Nokia Store Helsinki, Finland. I checked the application manager and there was USB control available to install. I don't what that means, but I think it can give us some hope. There was no USB devices available so I didn't test it.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

it means, well, nothing. usb control is for n8x0 devices and has no effect on the n900. Not even on the 770.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

It's a regular package in the extras-devel repository

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../u/usbcontrol/ ... :)

all it does is

echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

...and the like.. unless such 'file' also exists on n900, and works the same way, the usbcontrol wouldn't be much of an use :)

I'm tempted to get a Mobidapter and use it on my E51 (which is going to be the companion of my future n900, since I have separate sim cards for voice and data). Though, it's quite expensive. And, no used ones on ebay.

EDIT you can get a Mobidapter for about 20 EUR less than Expansys on http://www.roalan.com. Mine is going to cost 40 EUR including VAT and airline shipping.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

Hi!

First post for me!

According to Michal Jerz, who have been testing the device (n900) for a couple of weeks it will be possible to use USB host.

Questions to Michal Jerz:
Is it true it has the usb host feature ?
if yes did you try to read some usb memory key with it ?

Answer:
It is not enabled by default, but it's quite easy to enable it. Google for "USB host N810". You can do it the very same way on the N900.

good start of a new week?

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

Unfortunately, that's not so easy my friend. Read the first post of this thread.

Maybe Michal was generalizing to the n900 what was already known for the n8X0 - but there seem to be some hardware differences which don't allow an easy turning to otg mode.

The thread I assume tto is refering to. Last post atm (the one link leads to):

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

That’s typical, to good to be true.

Re: N900 will not allow USB OTG!
 

I do have a question and I apologize in advance for the very basic technical terms used in this post.

The TI OMAP3430 used in the N900 is a System on a Chip (SoC), that means everything comes together and you have to live with it, right ? The OMAP3430 does support High Speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go.

How can Nokia modify the OMAP3430 to take that feature out of the N900 ? Is it something easy to do ? I mean like not plugging the "thing" that support USB On-The-Go.
