Hi there, I hope this is the correct list for my question, if not please advise which list would be better suited. Some people found out that the Dell Streak supports USB OTG. http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/09/dell-streak-supports-usb-host-otg.html however this is only true for the Eclair version. This capability was apparently removed from the Froyo version for unknown reasons. I would like to be able to use this on Froyo. I've looked at the kernel sources (disclaimer: I am not a kernel hacker) made available be Dell at http://opensource.dell.com/releases/streak/ It appears to me that the modifications that led to the loss of functionality are in arch/arm/mach-msm/board-qsd8x50_austin.c What I would like to do is to port the USB OTG related code from Eclair to Froyo. This is difficult since: 1) I am no kernel hacker (I've tried copying some of the code differences, but while the kernel compiled it didn't boot) 2) The USB layer seems to have somewhat changed between the kernel versions that served as bases for both Dell tarballs. Apparently, 2.6.29 served as the base for Eclair and 2.6.32 as the base for the Froyo vesion. In addition, I've read that the code for the Dell kernels was lifted from different kernel versions, so the drivers might be again from different versions. Can I get some advice on how to proceed best? (besides downgrading to Eclair, of course ;) Cheers, Gerhard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk1XGOQACgkQfg6TFvELooQpiACfaYeI1QVtudI6a0BdB0Rq0Qsc izgAn2PiKWeFb5izrIIG3Wn9K5r0QqWZ =2+w+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
