USB Support

(1/2) > >>

zajacattack:
Now, I am very curious as to how this is progressing, seeing as this will enable me to remove all dependency on the OF, so I have a few questions:

1) Charging - If file support gets finished, will that affect charging? And, is there work progressing on getting rockbox to allow full charging power (or does it already?)?
2) File transfer - I understand that USB 1.1 speed works, so is all that is left to do is get USB 2.0 speed working without errors?

Thanks!

Nope, but theres a patch on the tracker for charging.  If the USB support goes in soon, I'll probably take a look at testing it to see if the charging patch is safe to use (won't kill batteries or anything).

I think both work pretty well at this point, but theres still a lot of bugs to be worked out, so you use it at your own risk.

I'm guessing you probably got that "USB 1.1" speed thing from the post / wiki page I made on Friday. It was of course Murphy's Law that just as I'd more or less finished writing that page that gevaerts decided to have a breakthrough and work out what was wrong with USB 2.0, and get that working as well ;)

MarcGuay:
Just noticed this on the MajorChanges page:

2008-02-11: Major USB stack improvements. File transfer is now supported.

Seems a little misleading if it's still a work-in-progress, especially given the common usage of "supported"... Perhaps I've missed something?  

GodEater:
Good question, one I've just posed to others in IRC...

Taken care of - it's been removed from MajorChanges, and will only re-appear when it's in a state worth announcing to the unwashed masses :D
