I'm interested in making my myTouch 1.2 into a robot using instructions from cellbots.com
Anyone know if the usb port on the phone can be used to send serial commands via usb? Is this something that is just inherent in the kernel or is it device limited?
you could use a real serial port in our device by a Serial Cable. or you could use a usb to RS converter. but if you use a converter, I think that you need a kernel driver loaded too.
I could be wrong, but hope that helps.

Hi there,
I'm trying to get linux working with XDA2...
At the moment, I use HARET to boot the kernel, but I encounter some problems.
1. USB Serial Connection is breaking when booting the new kernel. I wouldn't have assumed anything different. But the Xda-Developers tutiorials shows how to connect via that virtual port.
2. I can use the real serial port to redirect Kernel Output until it says: "Login:"
I'm using minicom to get the output. But I can't enter the username. I'm sure that I use correct port settings, is there anything special with the connection to the XDA2? Should I use another Application to login? What's wrong with my serial input line?
Can somebody tell me how to use the Serial port via other Terminals? (Linux shell commands are highly appreciated.)
Thanks in advance for some hints!
Edit:
I also tried to compile custom kernel, but after haret switches to the dark screen (after showing the linux logo with splashed eyes ), it isn't redirecting any output to PC.
hi. you should first tell which software versions you are using.
Himalaya kernel is not maintained for a long time, but it's
not very difficult to update it.
Versions I use:
HaRET-0.3.6.exe (http://anymore.nl/ipaq/haret-0.3.6.exe)
zImage-2.6.12 (http://himalaya.lange.nom.fr/zImage-2.6.12)
initrd-2.6.12.gz (initrd-2.6.12.gz)
Hardware:
Processor: Intel PXA263
Model Nr. PH10A
Flash Chip type: 28F128k3
Hi
Has anyone heard something about PXE booting from Shift PC, or how to com in the Bios. We want build the Shift PC automatic with OS Deployment Tool.
Thanks for all the info.

PXE boot is not possible - remember, the Ethernet port is not embedded, but just an USB attached device. Of course, you could create an bootable USB stick that provides a kind of USB support, assuming the necessary drivers for the ethernet port in the USB Hub are available (but in fact, i really doubt so).
OK Thanks i will try it
Does anyone know if you are able to use a USB t serial converter to connect to another device such as a Cisco router?
that would be neat if possible.. though you would likely need to compile the driver for the usb->serial chip into the kernel.
Hello,
I have do a usb cable with external power alimentation, can we use it on android?
It works on Windows and on ubuntu!
I have put the kernel with a driver for the usb host. If we search the program used in samsung s2?
Bumping, as I am looking too for a way to run this. There is no clear info about USB host support on this forum.
And USB Host IS POSSIBLE in HD2 as hardware supports it, probably with OTG mode. We need a working kernel, or just some info how to run it.
Hi.
I have Coolech 1FA-09D based board with Hisilicon Hi3716C chip on it. It's android based media player. Full system flash was performed on the device, but firmware flashed was wrong, so device is now useless.
It stops at boot screen (not android, but bootloader). On device I have 2 available usb ports, but I asume those are host ports, not to be connected to PC. On PCB I have 4 pin connector, but don't know what kind of connector that is. At the moment I have no documentation for the box.
Company that I got box from will provide me original firmware, but how I'm going to flash it? Any ideas? Fastboot as far as I know works only with usb connected devices. ADB can't connect to device trough lan cause no adb server is running on the other side (box get's its own IP address and does some other initialisation which includes usb ports and then freezes).
The 4 pin connector is a serial console, but be carefull, its 3,3V logic and not RS232! So you need a level converter or usb ttl converter cable like for a old cellphone or something. Then within uboot you could load the firmware from tftp or upload it with xmodem.
Could you please send me the firmware? I would be very interested in it . (Or just upload it somewhere like filesonic)
Thanks.

Thanx for your answer.
About the firmware, sorry, I can not send it to you and there are two reasons for that:
I don't have the firmware yet. When I get it, I'm not allowed to distribute it. You can find kernel source code of similar device (A.C.Ryan android based box) on their web page. Their device is also based on Hi3716c.
Hi,
Yes, I am using a acryan box clone and wanted to check out the features of the Coolech firmware on my box. That was the reason I asked about it. But okay, if you can't share it, its fine.
