Adding USB Host functionality?! - Touch Cruise ROM Development

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.

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)

Artemis connected to microcontroller with usb otg

Hello everyone,
I need to connect a usb peripheral to the Artemis P3300.The peripheral is a usb client device ,an rfid reader , from which i want to pass a short string of data to the Artemis.
My idea is to use an atmel microcontroller with usb on the go , to act as a host , read the data from the rfid reader and pass it to the Artemis using its mini usb port.
As I am quite new to this kind of engineering I would like to hear your opinion about this way of interfacing the Artemis with the microcontroller.Has anyone tried something similar? Do you think that the extUSB is suitable for a connection with a usb on the go host device?
Best regards

USB host?

I can't find a proof data that Dell Streak support USB _host_
Does somebody know it for sure?
If yes, could it support at least usb keyboard/mouse and external HDD without some kind of hacks?
You can use blutooth keyboard http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/06/dell-streak-supports-bluetooth-keyboards.html
how would you connect usb devices with cable?
So, let's imagine we sucessfully connected Keyboard and Mouse as Bluetooth HID devices.
But, sorry, it's not discover whether does it have USB host (!) or not.
The question is:
-will we have ability to have acess via USB to our USB storages (any, HDDs, DVD/BD drives, Flash drives)
-will we have ability to use USB peripheral devices like (additional) USB video cameras, printers, USB-Ethernet devices, etc (after got drivers for it)?

[Q] USB Host on Blackstone ?

Hello all,
I saw yesterday that USB host have been released for HTC Desire HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742
as USB doesn't work until now for Blackstone, it would be a dream to have USB host functionnality... mini-usb adapters are much easier to find than micro-USB host adapters!
Does someone knows weither it's feasable or not (hardware limitation) ?
