By connecting pendrive displays the following error message:

>> Can not connect, no file system available

Still shows the drive / dev/sda1 and therefore can not mount it.

If you got that error message, host mode worked, check ls /dev/sd* for a list of devices to mount, currently it's hardcoded to /dev/sda1

Already mentioned that the storage device goes into "USB mass storage."

But in the path "/dev/" is not a device "/dev/sd *"

Thank you very much for the effort they are doing.

So I tried it too and unfortunately my USB flash drive wasn't recognized. But the good news is, that the script indeed enabled 5V output (measured 5.05 V using a voltmeter) so when I tried connecting a mouse the light turned on... but nothing showed up in dmesg (new usb device should be mentioned in dmesg, right?).

Can't connect flash drive right now to check, but definitely get 5 volts. I plugged it into usb hub and and flashcard lit up after I switched to host-mode. So only, storage usb devices are detected for now or we can can connect keyboards,etc ?

Thank you very much for the effort they are doing.

Can you apt-get install sysklogd, reboot, and try to reproduce what worked for you? ty

As for the error from pcsuite-enable.sh, it can be ignored, it's just lazy coding by Nokia.

And again, @ others, connect the flash drive directly after Starting BME is shown, and no more than after Connect the device NOW is shown.
