[shorty66]

Any news on this?

 

[mesterke]

???

Hi all, there is already someone working on this mod? It would really mega cool to have that I have on defy

 

[evilinheaven]

I would like to see this working too!!

any developments on this?? getting my defy next week... Samsung Galaxy S 2 supports this but no developments on the Samsung Galaxy afaik (same chipset as Defy)

 

[viper.]

I think that atm we cant have host mode drivers beacuse of locked bl.

Finally I bought my Defy, and began to do more research on it.

My first attempt was to turn on the VBUS 5V power supply for the USB port on Defy.
I have made it happened by insmod a dummy module with following piece of code executed during the module init:

#define MBASE 0xfa0ab000 //got from:
//data# dmesg|grep Peripheral
//[    8.125518] musb_hdrc: USB Peripheral mode controller at fa0ab000 using DMA,IRQ 92

void power_on_vbus(void)
{
	u8 reg;
	void __iomem *mbase = MBASE;

	reg = musb_readb(mbase, MUSB_TESTMODE);
	reg |= MUSB_TEST_FORCE_HOST;
	musb_writeb(mbase, MUSB_TESTMODE, reg);
}

You can see my USB modem attached to Defy has it's light ON!

wow this is great.

it is still possible to access the usb host mode from linux ?

Would you compile this?

Yes, it was compiled by ARM cross-compiler as a kernel module.
It is not for people to use at this moment, just to demo that Defy has USB OTG hardware capability, thus USB Host is possible.

The effort is on software, and I'm working on it...

Good stuff! Many people are interested by this; it even made the news in the CM7 thread.

I don't know if it would be of any help, but you can see my latest post on this over there.

Good luck and thanks for your effort in this matter.

Great Work!
It will be a big news for the defy's user!

 

[DJ_Synergy]

i would love to see this work ... this would be such a cool thing to connect an external hdd to the defy

defy will not be able to handle hi power devices...

You need a self-powered hub to handle that

 

[ryan8r]

It will be a great accomplishment if we can even use a flash pen drive.

Would you publish your source code to a github repository, so more people could help you?
Or it is already published?

any news ?
it would be great when the source of the kernel module will be published.

i also want to hack a little bit with this ;-)
