USB HOST development

---

I found some posts around but nothing terminal. Is it possible at all A100's USB to behave as host? I mean is it possible to be developed, I know it is not a standard feature.
I will be glad to donate to a ROM which introduces this feature, as well as many others, I think.
Thank you

I'm not sure. The kernel source usb driver does seem to have OTG, but I have not tried it. I'm may not be enabled for some reason.

Look in this Service manual scheme on page #23. It will answer to your question.
In general the ansewer is no.

Acer A100 Support USB with ADK.

I realize this thread is a bit old and didn't really go anywhere, but if you check dmesg, you can see that the A100 uses USB 2.0 internally for its own devices. (E.g. pl2303, UVC, etc.) So that might mean if you can find the right points, you could theoretically tap into a USB 2.0 bus. No idea how useful that might be.

anyone can check this?

Here is a chart that shows the devices compatible with the USB-OTG:

The dock port? No it doesn't support usb at all I don't think. I think it's like charging and hdmi and audio, maybe one of the few with one can verify that.

Does the dock even have hdmi out? I was just looking in to it, only $30 on eBay btw , anyway I don't see an hdmi out in any pictures and I read about USB in a description somewhere. Does anyone have one to inform us?
