Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
Hi,
I can't get my Lenovo SK8855 usb keybd working on my n900. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=5387 I have such usb usb connector http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-cab...connector-2646 Then I start h-e-n First message: 'stopping BME' Then I choose: > low speed hostmode >VBUS boost on > enumerate >> connect usb-keybd to n900 > mount But nothing is happening ... when I try to type in a xterm. I can't turn on Capslock. EDIT: Also mouse does nothing. When I connect and mount a usb stick, it says 'unable to connect, no file system available' Code:
sudo fdisk-l (in ubuntu)Code:
# apt-cache policy kernel-power-bootimgCode:
# lsusb -vCode:
# dmesg |

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
Hey rooz, thanks for detailed report. I'm afraid, that currently I have no idea what may cause such "filesystem not available" response after mounting pendrive. If You're not using any strange filesystem for Your flash disk, of course. Maybe HEN gurus will help - just keep in mind, that it's vacation time, and some may be unreachable.
I'm posting this, to let You know that You're not ignored - it's just that currently I got no ideas for any advice. I just suppose - keep in mind, that it is sober speculation - that You may miss something, some kind of additional info. Packages You may have installed, uncertified tweaks... Remember, that Your overall observation ability is very important, Your correct guessing may also help us to help You. |
Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
Thanks for your reply. iirc I got a message 'modules failed' or something similar when installing the kernel-power. Not sure if that's related. Usb seems to mount now, but can't find it on my filesystem yet... What filesystems are supported? Only a external usb drive doesn't seems to mount (lack of power??)
Most important for me is the Lenovo usb keybd. What are my chances to get this working (without external powerd usb hub)? Is it possible to use a usb to bluetooth converter maybe, to get the keybd working? My usb keybd doesn't show up in extkbd btw. Thanks. |

Actually the suggestion is: first connect device, then start h-e-n (unless you go for charging hostmode as I explained in the h-e-n thread) /j |
Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
If You got problems with kernel modules, You would obviously not be able to load HID modules, and Your keyboard/mouse won't work.
As for USB hard disk, definitely try with Y-cable/powered HUB. |
Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
Do you think the usb keybd should work without usb hub?
I will take a look at the modules. Which kernel version do you advise (48 atm) and which packages should be installed exactly? |
Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
kp48 is all right. Doesn't ignore joerg_rw post - hes right, teps should be followed in correct order.
Also, if You got major problems during installation of kp48, like so errors about modules, You will be better fixing Your system at all, before trying to get USB keyboard working. In case that You may have system screwed at all, trying to help You is kinda hopeless... |

At this point I have no reason to assume that the power-kernel is not installed properly. Everything seems fine and the modules are there.
hostmode.txt (I tried several hostmode speeds, top messages are from Low speed hostmode likely and most intesting possibly) Code:
