Connect Universal directly to 80GB Mobile Hard Drive?

Is there any way to connect the Universal Directly to a mobile hard drive?.
to be more precise, to this one:
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10669

Not Directly NO. The Universal does not have the USB Host hardware required to attach this kind of thing.

Take a look at this...

interesting...
but anyways there could be a kind of "piece of hardware" bewtween HD and Universal that makes the USB host function.. or maybe I am a bit lost..

Universal has WIFI so youd be better off just mapping a network drive or something rather than using bluetooth which is very slow.

That would be a PC Its certainly possible that somebody could make a card for the SDIO slot that would support USB Hosting but I am not aware of one.

Better wait for cheaper 4 gigabytes sd cards

Hi jimcl,
You have the same idea as me! I was thinking of hooking up my external 60GB HDD to my Exec using just a normal camera USB cable. As you have thought, it didn't work. Wouldn't it be great if things just works the way we wanna them to be?
I assume that if it works, the battery on your Exec will dry up very quickly as the HDD draws its power from it.
Anyway, if you find anything that allows you to do that, please post it out here and share it with everyone!
Cheers!

Johnnie

Wifi would be much better, and is already available, but they are not designed for mobile use, mains supply required.
SDIO to USB is, I think is in the pipeline, but prehaps a better solution would be SDIO to Wired Ethernet, more likely to find this for PDA's with no Wifi, and USB/Ethernet hard drives are available now. Although ethernet drives still require mains supply but USB ones would suck power to quick from the host
I think we will see host controllers as standard in future PDAs.
I know the 5Gb is not particulary good on the Toshiba device, but I doubt it will be long before the capacity increases.
I must admit, SD/MMC cards are a better way to go and I think 8gb is in the pipeline now and prices will drop over time.

of course I'll share the solution... in case I find it!
I more or less agree with all your comments... but sometimes we just want to work with the things we have, ... I already have a mobile hard drive. That's all.
Apart from 4GB SD cards - and future 8GB - maybe we could find a solution in the WIFI way, but anyways 8GB SD card sounds great - maybe not its price..

If your looking for a solution for home or car try the asus WL-HDD wireless access point / hard drive
I picked one up off ebay for 50ukp with a 60 gig drive in it,
Also lets you copy stuff from other usb devices to the hard drive (without a pc) or share other usb devices over the wireless (with new firmware from asus).
http://reviews.cnet.com/Asus_WL_HDD_2_5/4505-3382_7-31080278-2.html?tag=nav
Power wise it needs 5v @ 2 amps
Being linux based there is also some hacked firmware that will let you use other usb devices or turn it into a webserver and other things..
http://wl500g.info/
currently selling in the uk without drive for around 36ukp (scan)

RE
Yes, you can connect the Universal to the hard disk directly WITHOUT going through a router/access point using Wi-Drive, here:-
http://www.edslab.com/products.htm
Spoken to the developer 2 days back and was told that it'll be ready this coming August. It'll be released with a 30GB hard disk as this will be more affordable to the public. If you need higher capacity hard disk you'll need to install it yourself.

You have to give a lot more info. "It doesn't works" is not a question.

What does the TV say (I assume your switched to the HDMI input)? No signal, or is it just black. I also assume you connected the USB end to an official power adapter (requires 2 Amps)?
I think it is best to show the steps (tedious as it may be) you followed to get the SGT connected up to your TV...
But there is no need to be giving snide remarks to forum-co-members who are trying to understand where the problem lies. Cable-setup (for as much as is visible) looks good...

On my tv screens is writing ( No signal )
My tv is not full hd ,is only a HDready with dvi input and i have a connection from dvi to hdmi. can this be the problem ?? or maybe the resolution of my tv ????

Could be the adaptation of dvi to hdmi. My first thought though is that you need an active connection. In other words a powered adapter.
The no signal notice on the TV seems to rule out it only being the wrong resolution being set, but it's possible.
As mentioned, we can't be certain if anything hardware wise is incorrect without a complete run down of what types of connections you have connected between the tab and TV. A full picture from end to end of everything between the tab and the TV would be quite a bit of help or just a list of what the connectors are and in what order you have them connected should help some more.
If you really want quick answers both pics and a list of what everything is would be perfect.
This would quickly rule out wrong types of connectors being used, but then lead to whether one part is defective if the connections are correct.
Just because connections and adapters get you from your tab to your TV doesn't mean it will or even should work.
But then if you're able to rule out a hardware mis-connection and connector failure issue, someone can jump in with software fixes, which it really becomes an issue of the more you tell, the better help you will get.
Sorry if this sounds like we're being rude asking for more and more information, but its the only way we can offer real help without being there in person and the questions from people asking for more specifics will only get longer if not enough nor specific information is given in the beginning.
It's just the way it works when trying to help someone without being there.
It's like me saying my car won't start, but here's a picture of the battery cables in the middle, but not including the connections from the beginning to the end of the cables at the battery.
People trying to help aren't mind readers and there are just to many ways to get from the tab to the TV to assume anything, its just a waste of time (probably like this post I'm making myself) to try to guess so many of us have tired of guessing and assuming things only to be wrong in the end and it really being something simple had we been told, or seen the specifics in the first place.
To be blatantly honest most people with the knowledge to help wont even waste their time to try, if you show a lack of willingness to "help them", help yourself.

I'm wondering how I could possibly find a driver for my rooted S5... or
maybe find someone who could make one for me and I could pay them.
thanks!

I've got an AX88772B base adaptor. power and LAN LED both light up (S4 mini they stayed dark)
but the S5 provides no indication that it recognizes the Ethernet interface.
Wrong adaptor or is S5 unable to use USB-Ethernet dongles at all?
Is there any USB-Ethernet adaptor known to work with an S5 ?

Um, you can just plug the phone straight in to your comp with the charging cable and enable USB tether, no additional adapter required.

True, but I want to plug my phone into a LAN cable going to an Outdoor-Wifi repeater
so that my drone gets better range than with stock S5 antenna power.

Well, there at tablets Like the nvidia Shield where it works perfectly like that.
I'm just trying to get that working using an S5

How do you plan on installing a driver in Android? If there was one
Pretty sure it would have to be baked into the ROM in the first place, although being rooted might allow it, but I've never heard of installing drivers in Android
Not to mention, the huge description of the item on Amazon states "For Windows Tablets & Raspberry Pi Zero"

All true, I'm sure. I'm searching for experience with a Ethernet-USB chipset that DOES work wiht the drivers of an S5, just like there ARE Ethernet chipsets that do work wiht the stock Nvidia android tablet.
Maybe there is none, because Samsung didn't bother to include any usb-Ethernet drivers in their ROM.
Or - perferrably - I'm too much a noob, to know that Samsung Phones support only XYZ chipsets.
So I'd need either
- a trick / hack / secret 8-times tap to enable Ethernet-via-USB
- a (list) of USB-Ethernet chipsets other than mine (AX88772B) that ARE supported by Samsung S5 w/o fuss.
Got any pointers in these directions?

Well I'd at least start off my search with one that says it works with Android
No idea if it works with the S5, and you'd need a Male MicroUSB to Female USB adapter too

Tearing HU apart for Boards

So mediatek 8127 trash.. Not rootable. Wouldn't keep the screen on unless I had otg hooked up. I tried everything. Anyways... I bought orange pi h3 and billion things for it; ATmega328P Nano V3 Controller Board for 3.2" OBD cluster project and tft 7". I bought a driver thinking that's all it was, but I just i'll have two 7" screens now. I bought;
----AUDIO---
900W DC-DC Boost Converter 8-60V to 10-120V 15A Step Up
TPA3116 D2 120W+120W Dual-channel
ATMEGA16U2 Board For Arduino Mega 2560 R3
LM1036 Tone Board Preamp Board Volume Treble Bass Amplifier Z2S8
(Havent bought yet) TDA7498 BTL 100W+100W High-power Digital Amplifier Board AMP With Radiator
--OBD2 cluster lcd k line gauges--
FTDI Basic Breakout 5V/3.3V Adjustable- Micro USB
3.5" tft (even thought I can't touch it.....)
k type thermocouple
--display--
It will be displaying mainly 1280x600? The tft that came with my dismantled board. I bought another driver and it has a 800
--Other stuff--
GPS- No just the anntena
It has wifi already
I have a BT board if it doesn't.. No clue.
Fm transmitter I have too.
Sooo I really don't know anything about rasp pi og pi arduino, but I do know 100$ double dins are trash. I am able to pull the fm transmitter and bt board off but that's it. I took 3 old laptops apart just to find one 40 pin monitor adapter..... but a "driver board"...... idk!
I guess I would really appreciate a smack in the head followed by a "none of that even works together"..
Ohh.. and I got 4 P1675 Punch 6.75" 3-Way Full-Range 440W speakers.. I think that's what i'm most excited about. All I was ever able to do with this double din I dismantled was sit in my room running it from a trickle charger trying everything to wipe it and get something worthwhile. So two questions.... Is there a pin diagram out there somewhere? Are they standard? All I know is it has an HP laptop kernel. 400mb mali something ur' other.. Mtk8127a. The board says "YLD-ANDROID-CORE-PCBV00". mediatek mt6323LGA 1644-AGTH. 70 pins only around the edges. NO markings for what.... Ohhh and the cover over the board says YLD-CORE-AD1616_MOO.
Second question With voltage boosters and amplifiers what else audio wise do I need concerning the board/module aspect.. Best method of transferring music that's playing from orange pi to, two TPA3116 D2 120W+120W Dual-channel's and the possible bridgable mono TDA7498 amp for my sub.... run wires... But from where? Point of origin... I feel like i'm missing a driver/board for audio or something. I've been looking into all of this for months, so sorry for not having a better idea, it's just like a candy store of 2$ 5000gig 8 channel yada yada out there. It's endless.....
Orange pi can flow with raspberry pi b+ for sure and most below i'd imagine and arduino touch screens and sensors couldn't care less. Does that sound right?
Thanks for any advice. Hopes this isn't in the wrong area. It is all being made into a headunit....
Ehhhh after looking into orange pi... The specs are there, but the support is like zero.... Glad it's so cheap to change my mind. I want nougat or oreo/rooted/cmXX/aosp anything flippin rooted. and not Kit Kat..... Seriously............ MHL one of my rooted phones into the mini hdmi or something like that..... Idk, but I just found out my options are pretty much if not only that of Kali linux. Super cool most of the time, but I don't forsee me sniffing packets from the prius at the red light...

Hi, I think that multimedia is too weak for your car radio, but we can try to fix...
You must find a hidden menu/factory menu/admin menu (asks a pin code to get inside) where infotainment menu is and tweak settings there. If this multimedia has canbus device attached to it make sure to find correct settings for your model of car (PSA settings in hidden menu/can type/bus).

Thanks Anton, tried hidden factory settings, but could not find the right combination. Trying various options but no luck. Will share setting screens if that could help.

Please make a whole video of your admin/factory settings

Somehow my head unit is not turning on, green light is power, red light flashes when loading android and becomes stable when booted normally. Right now red light not turning on. Need help in flashing stock img provided by supplier.

Why flash, just insert old img and get back old system, then try again with updates but I suggest doing it with adb and with connection to a PC

Thanks Anton for your suggestion, device is having some hardware issue, seems USB is not working, tried connecting my phone for charging but USB did not work, so unable to connect to PC, have asked suppiler for the replacement.

I think that some hardware like gps antenna or some other hardware is not functinal and causing problems. Get a skilled technician to look motherboard and device it self. As far as peripheral ports like USB and othe ports, you can test them on your own, just unplug one by one while device is on and see if device will stabilize its self.
