To clarify - as I understand it the likely power draw required for the SC* to be awake enough to do USB suspend negotiations is rather high.

I was suggesting simply pulling the existing debug connector, replacing it with a similar, much more robust one. 20 way 0.5mm FPC connectors are available off-the-shelf inexpensively. This would make it useful for expansion, in addition to its primary purpose, in a way that the existing one is not. _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
