For those with the HTC 4 in 1 Cable, they might be asking the same question too... for a very long while now
Can anyone out there update Athena's USB host drivers?
It's USB host support is enough to power most memory card readers (even 5 in 1 readers), read/write low power thumb/flash drives and make most wired keyboards, mice and gamepads work.
It even works with PSP Slim in USB mode, making the memory stick files accessible
But again there's this issue with self powered devices in mass storage mode and large capacity hard drives(like camera, video cams, external HD etc.)
Athena recognizes them as "Hard Disk" (as with thumb drive and memory card readers, via Explorer). But when you tap the "Hard Disk", all you have is the waiting icon, no more...
I have tried many usb host drivers and edited the registry to no avail.
Those drivers are the following:
1. RATOC based Zeno Drivers ( it does not work, maybe because the drivers where based to work another processor) The only thing that i get from them is a message that the device connected needs a specific drive....
2. Eten M600 USB host drivers ( again the drivers were meant for its Samsung processor) Doesn't work either, though power is still supplied to the connected device.
3. Dejes USB Host driver- expected not to work for it's meant for Windows Mobile 2003
But maybe there's still hope :o...
Toshiba G900 USB host drivers...
Athena and G900 have the PXA 270 processor so there's a big chance that G900 drivers may work with Athena (with a few driver rewriting hopefully)
It has been noted that Toshiba G900 USB host support is better, recognizing self powered Devices in Mass Storage Mode and large HDs
And then there's O2 Flame's....these three Devices have the PXA 270 processor... and all have USB host capabilities so the answer might just be just in the tip of our noses...
I have no knowledge with drivers and stuff (all tweaking and basic registry editing just from reading forums) and correct me If I'm wrong but I think writing/updating Athena's USB host drivers are a lot more easier than developing that oh so elusive Graphic Drivers for other devices that developers are sooo into right now...:D
But whose to blame, our device is quite "old" and quite "rare":(
Hope there's a kind hearted fella out there who could update our drivers, fix the powered mass storage issue and even give some new drivers to support other USB devices (external optical drives, webcam, HSDPA thumbs etc)
:rolleyes:
For now, non-developers like most of us, can only play with available drivers and registry so here are some USB host drivers from different devices (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK) and hopefully one may know what to do with them...
