USB host functionality?

---

Has it USB host functionality to attach e.g. a hard drive?

Would be interesting to know

since universals cpu is PXA27x.....(272),then it has a USB host functionnality...and if u are wondering...then yes...this means that u can connect ur HDD to it,and guess what....it's the first HTC device with USB 2.0,so imagine!!!!!!!

RAGO :lol:

:P Great news!!! Makes me wanna get this device even more :P :P :P

So you want to carry a big device around and then an external hard disk drive! Seems a bit over the top for something to do your phone / email on.

But isnt the USB on the MDA IV mini usb? How do normal usb devices work on a mini usb port?

Magician has also an Intel PXA272 but as far as I know USB-Host isnt working. If it works please correct me.

Lets hope that USB-Host will work on Universal.

Has anyone tried USB-Host on Universal yet?

Btw is there another cable needed (are other Pins of the 5 in the MiniUSB Plug used?) or just an adapter for the end of the USB-Cabel

Has anyone tried USB-Host on Universal yet?

the device have been been released yet so unless people here
get early samples to review i dont think anybody have tried it yet

No time or kit handy to test I'm afraid.

I got sent some info that claimed the Universal does have USB host (from someone claiming to have one for testing but is under NDA) - but nothing confirmed or proved.

Having a PXA27x processor does not have to mean that the USB host functionality is made use of. The HP iPAQ hx4700 and Dell Axim X50v both have processors capable of USB hosting - but neither device makes use of it.

I didn't say that ONLY PXA27x have USB hosting functionality,and am quite sure ur right concerning the iPAQ and the Axim.... :wink:
"PXA27x CPUs have USB host functionality",said Intel:

"Does the Intel® PXA27x family processors support USB Host in addition to USB Client?
Yes, the Intel® PXA27x family processors, supports USB HOST and Client (Rev. 1.1 compliance) and USB On-The-Go (OTG). "

Still...untill the Universal is released and fully tested,all we are saying remains theories :wink:
untill then.......
