Default [Q] Connector Pinout and raw connector source?

Hey There,
I've seen the pinout for the original Galaxy Tab, does anyone know if this one is the same?

Or if not, anyone know where I could find a pinout for the thing? I might try calling Samsung but I have no idea how much time that will take or if its worth it.

Also, anybody know where to source the raw connectors?
Thanks!

Pinout should be the same since cables and accessories for the 7" work with the 10.1 as well

Here is the thread that has the Tab pinout

Cool, thanks. Now I just need to source that connector...

I would assume some pins are the same but expect many have changed. Since our device has HDMI and USB hosting, there are probably some differences. I would love to be able to make or buy a breakout cable that had everything possible out of it. Right now all the official accessories look to do only one thing at a time.
And I have beef with any accessory that calls themselves a media dock and then doesn't have multimedia outputs. Had to get that out there

Well,
I finally found a source for some connectors:
http://www.kineteka.com/galaxy-tab-connector.aspx

and they have a breakout board:
http://shop.kineteka.com/products/20...bbreakout.aspx

I've ordered one of each and will report back.

They clearly say "Galaxy Tab" and not Galaxy Tab 10.1, but if its the same connector, it should be fine.

Though I agree that our unit most likely has more outputs. It would be really nice to figure out what those are! I have a thread at the Samsung Innovator website about it:
http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/b...earchTextForm=

But I feel like they won't tell us. I may have to buy the USB host adapter and the HDMI adapters and crack them open.

Anyway, I'll try to figure this out. If anyone else knows, please fill me in!

In the kernel, drivers/accessory/30pin_con.c:

if (acc_adc != false) {
if ((2600 < acc_adc) && (2800 > acc_adc)) {
env_ptr = "ACCESSORY=OTG";
acc->current_accessory = ACCESSORY_OTG;


The acc_adc is the arbitrarily scaled resistor value on the ID pin. I think there might be a place in sysfs to read this out, so you could wire up a potentiometer and work out the real resistor value for this range (2600-2800). You can use ADBWireless to get a shell while you are messing with the connector.

Once in OTG mode, the USB D+/D- pins used by the sync cable should become USB host.

Ah, I was afraid of that, I know plenty of mobile devices work that way. I was really hoping it had two separate ports like some other tablets, so I can use my accessory and the USB host port at the same time. I may have to do some juggling then, grr.

Thanks for getting that info though! I'll try that with my breakout board when it comes in (if they ever ship the damn thing...).

In another post, a guy put 20K ohms between Pin 13 and Pin 15 and got the Tab to go into host mode. Then the following for the other pins
Pin 1 (GND)> Black
Pin 3 (D+) > Green
Pin 4 (D-) > White
Pin 6 (+5v)> Red

If anyone figures out how to get HDMI out, please share.
