Using the usb storage gadget driver from the linux kernel will give you the functionality to emulate a usb storgae device to the host. There are some pitfalls thought. 1) It needs to be a single partition. Maybe the expanded this since my last look at it to offer more then one partition. 2) You should not access the same partition from the running device during the time mounted on the host or it can give interesting results. :) Thats one of the reasons why devices offering this mode turn off all other functions during this time. 3) The partitions must hold and filesystem that the host actually understands. Speak fat32 or such if you want to connect it everywhere. Thats quite a limitation if you want the same partition shared for rootfs and usb storage emulation. Having a second partition helps out here. regards Stefan Schmidt _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
