Is there any API for USB communications to implement a client/server program using a USB connector to enable communication between the PDA and a desktop?
Thanks

USB Host controller for Magician

I would love to take advantage of the Jam's USB client port and Windows Mobile 2003 native support for USB hosting.
This is a request: Please cook up a ROM that includes a USB Host controller! That way I can use any USB keyboard, etc I like!!!
Please Help!!!
Hi,
There nothing to do with ROM
The USB Port is Client but can't be turn Host by a ROM.
This is a hardware problem...

Open USB port

Hi,
Can anyone give me some information about openning the USB port as device and communicate to the USB master?
Thanks.
without being 100% then i would guess thats that one of the things which devide masters and peripherals that peripherals cant init the connection and can only listen for an connection request from masters
Yes. I just want it to be a slave device.
I am trying to open it as com port (0?). I believe that I need to stop ActiveSync to gain the access.
I wonder how much USB control I can have using it as com port.
Am I on the right track?
thanks,

USB Pen

Hi!
Is it possible to connect a USB Pen to the magician and read/change its content?
Tanks!
No, don't think so, it doesn't allow USB host control, just slave (ie can connect it to a PC as a slave, but not control other USB devices).

Thank you!

Using RS232<->USB Adapter with newer HTC devices

Hello,
does anyone know if it is possible to attach an USB<-> RS232 cable to the newer HTC Devices, since they don't have RS232 anymore (i guess)?
What I want to do is to connect some kind of blackbox to Prophet, Atom or Wizzard. But this Blackbox only has an RS232 Connector (12 Volts).
Is it possible (hardware) and is there a driver for the RS232<->USB in Windows Mobile 5 or do I need to write my own driver?
Thank you
hi
I hope u've found a solution to that probleme.
I'm really very sad that nobody has answered to this subject, is this to mean that this is a stupid question or that nobody uses PDAs for good purposes.
Well, I try to connect my PDA to a total station (a surveying machine) that has only an RS232 port.
Can u help me to find how.
Thanx
without know much about usb to rs232 convertere then i would suspect they would require usb host ablity on the pda side which non of the htc ones i know of do :S
I think Rudegar is right, a usb to RS232 adapter requires a device with USB host. Remeber I discussed this at the GPS World site a couple of years ago, when I got my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard).
Couldn't the problem be solved with a Bluetooth -> RS232 dongle?
For instance: http://serialio.com/products/adaptors/BlueSnapXP.php
Here is a list of manufacturers: http://www.thewirelessdirectory.com/Bluetooth-Product/Serial Port Adapters.htm
(I have no experience with these devices; some can draw power from the serial port, others have their own battery, again others have their own powersupply and need to be plugged in)

Adding USB Host functionality?!

Hi!
Is there any (not that expensive) possibility to "teach" the HTC Touch Cruise the USB Host functionality? I want to connect a mini USB TMC Reveicer and maybe another GPS Receiver that has an MD6 Connector.
Thanks in advance
USB Host functionality (USB On The Go, or USB OTG) is hardware based, so AFAIK, there is no way of achieving that on the Polaris.
