Re: USB host successes (good to have)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello I want to share something that I found in a shop: http://www.conectica.ro/display/1-63-19-Adaptoare/Adaptor_USB_A___USB_A___.html With it I could use the shipped cable (Usb to Micro Usb) to attach a pendrive to my FR and to get my FR running. It cost around 1.50 euro, and it seem to be cheap to me. The good think is that it permit to use the provided cable and to don't risk to brak the micro usb part inside the FR. What do you think about it?

What do you think about it? Should work just fine. I picked up a few of http://www.cross-mark.com/female-female-coupler-adapter-p-922.html (and http://www.cross-mark.com/pins-cable-players-p-734.html) and they work fine. Lets me couple the provided cable (and the replacements noted in parens) to the standard USB cable provided with most peripherals. j Michele Renda -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIxrQ3SIAU/I6SkT0RAgYjAKCaB0IOXFcwVET99O8HKyq16edZoQCfQZAq 5n0cnpOSMtdUf5tx8mZHbm8= =ghWp -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: USB host successes (good to have)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I was thinking that a way to reduce the quantity of cable a person has to have with his will be to have: 1 x Usb - MicroUsb camle 1 x USB A Female - Female Adaptor (see A) 1 x Recharger without cable (see B) A) http://www.conectica.ro/display/1-63-19-Adaptoare/Adaptor_USB_A___USB_A___.html or http://www.cross-mark.com/female-female-coupler-adapter-p-922.html B) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10521.htm (I know it don't provide 1 A, but it is only to have an idea) In this mode will be easier to bring with us a regarger using always the same cables.

What do you think about it? Would be nice if they actually showed the connector from the business end, so we can see what it's like. I presume it's what we call a USB Type A Female to Female Gender Changer, like this one: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Specialized_USB_cables#Ready-made_type_A_jack_to_a_type_A_jack_adapter_.28gender_changer.29 Yes, that should allow you to connect a random USB device that is typically attached to a computer, to the end of the USB cable that came with your FreeRunner. With this adapter your USB pendrive would be powered by the FreeRunner, which is what you want.
