sure it is possible but the question is how much work it is ^^

you can also look at "/lib/modules/current/"
if you can find the pl2303.ko and the usbserial.ko
if not u need to compile it for kernel-power-46
or better make a backup with backupmenu
and try to upgrade to kernel-power-50
that would be the easy way to get thinks rolling :)

Could you not simply insmod the modules into the older kernel power, they both are 2.6.28 :) I think simply copying them and insmoding should work, recompiling does not seem necessary :)

EDIT: I attach module, try insmoding on kernel 46 :)

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.

Hi Pablocrossa,

sure give it a try but pl2303.ko depends on usbserial.ko
and im not really sure if both of them are the same for 50 and 46 ^^

both files are included in http://maemo.org/packages/view/kernel-power-modules/

greetings from germany

Ah, I thought as both were the same kernel they should insmod easily, testing is never bad :) then usbserial must also be insmod :)

blablabla

Insmod usbserial.ko first, download it from the link posted above :) that I believe should work fine :)

EDIT: Attach file
and for future reference try attaching logs as txt files to not flood pages of people who quote you :)

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.

already managed to see the ttyUSB0 under /dev but using Syncterm app its not working. Try utilized minicom, but still figure out how to change the serial port from ttyS1 to ttyUSB0

Dear Guys,

I already managed to connect to usb serial. Thanks a lot to Hugo,pablocrossa,Estel and others. Realy appreciated thats.

Anyway at this moment iam not managed to press enter after key in the username:root for the console server. Once i press the enter button it will show rootOM. Still figure out on that. If you guys have input, kindly please share.

Thanks again

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.

Managed to figure out that.
Need to press ctrl+m for enter command. :)

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.

Every time I connect my usb pen drive, I get a message "Unable to connect, file system unavailable" after pressed the enumerate button. After pressed the mount button I get successfully mounted message and file manager lead me to that drive. But I cannot copy anything to the drive as it says "read only". Another problem is, after disconnect the drive, I can never connect again without restart my n900. I reinstalled H-E-N and I am using KP-50. Any hints guys ? Thanks.

Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.

If You're using latest CSSU, clicking "mount" is not necessary - ke-recv should mount Your USB drive automagically.
