usb host on iaudio X5

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mad Cow:
What about the gigabeat? I think the USBOTG is built into the processor/chipset.

Thanks,

Do you think rockbox developpers could obtain technical information about the OTG chip from cowon ? Have they already tried and are they interrested in ?
Is cowon interrested in sharing these with rockbox, or the chip is just OEM and it's not possible for them to share these?

Finally, I really think that the X5 is excellent but I see that there is this problematic limitation in number of managed files by the cowon's firmware... :'(
I don't understand why that is so low, their firmware doesn't respond to the functionning of their product (rockbox greatly extends other functionalities but I mean that basic tasks as such as USB host-OTG which is not implemented in rockbox yet). Indeed, limitation of the number of files is specified but is not accord with the real number of files that can be managed by the disk...

PS : sorry if maybe my english is not always great, I'm french  ;)

It's unfortunately out of their hands. They would not be allowed to send us the documentation for the OTG chip, even if they wanted to.

It's a pity...

Do you know if they are considering an upgrade of this functionality on their firmware ??

Generally we have no contact with manufacturers, so unless they've said so on their web site, we wouldn't know.  I'd guess not though since the X5 has been out for a long time now and that issue has not been fixed.  At this point, they're probably working on the X6.
