Hi everyone. I am desperatly trying to find a solution to charge (at the moment) my Blackberry at home while away from work.
You're probably familiar with the reason why this doesn't work: the computer provides only 100mA of power to the device while the Blackberry needs full 500 mA. On Windows this is achieved through Blackberry Desktop Software; it seems the device does not by itself report to the system that it need more juice. When googling around all I could find was this: http://www.oclug.on.ca/archives/oclug/2005-May/045737.html Where the instructions go: "You should be able to change it somewhere in /sys/dev/usb..." I've also come across a page with the description of Blackberry USB protocol; it seems that by plugging it it exchanges a few hello world / handshake packets with desktop software which then switches USB to high-power mode. What I am looking for: - (good) a way to manually increase power by doing something in the lines of "echo 500 > /sys/.../usb/power" - (much better) device driver support for blackberry (charging only) Thank you for your replies, Bojan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
