Have we seen any info on the development for USB host on the device?
I know it has the capability. I'm just needing it to hook a presenter up to for presentations.

hello im working on a htc wallaby usb interface. but i have stumbeld across the problem that the htc wallaby is only a slave interface and therefore cannot use usb devices as they are also slave. how can i make the xda a host device? thankyou.
Raptor,
Read MSDN USB site about USB and the need for a Host Controller in order to host USB peripherals. They recognize that wince/pocketpc should have hosting functionality but they haven't got there yet, therefore all wince devices have to be treated as peripherals for now, which means for now you can only run as slave. If you need to drive a usb peripheral from your wince device an option is to add an SDIO pcmcia USB connector and write USB drivers through it. A forum on ExpertsExchange talks about these add-ons. I can;t imagine this is the solution you're looking for though.

Hi there,
Regarding the mini-USB port, does anyone know if it is specifically for connection in some sort of “slave” mode, or does it have the potential to be used in the same way as the USB port on a normal desktop PC?
In other words, just as a PC can communicate and control a whole load of devices (external drives, printers etc), would it be possible with suitable software for the PPC’s mini-USB to do likewise?
Any ideas most welcome.
Ken
No this is not possible because the phones dont have a host controller as of yet, i don't know if the Universal has this yet but without a controller a device can only connect to a USB connection that does have one so the Wizard is out of the question.
A USB system has an asymmetric design, consisting of a host controller and multiple devices connected in a tree-like fashion using special hub devices

hi i was wondering if anyone out there new if there was an SDIO USB HOST card, similar to the shown on the link below (but obviously SD not CF)
http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html
if not, does anyone know/have tried the above CF to USB Host with a standard usb webcam and got it to work? if so can you explain how i go about setting it up.
thanks

i'd suspect that the fact that usb to host have to supply 5volt with 0.5mA
it could be an issue for something as thin as an sdcard
also not sure if the sdio interface even operate at 5v
usb host
I haven't seen an sdio to usb card, but I use my "htc universal" with it's mini usb as a usb 1.1 host. It works ok but you have to supply external power.
if you have that working you are the first and only person i know of who gotten any htc device act as usb host
sure there were rumors that it would do host
but later on ppl retracted those claims
After wiring up a cable for that, how do you set the phone to 'host mode'?
Thanks
usb host is not a mode
your pc is in host mode always
as are the 2 htc devices which do support
usb host out of the box
is a device is connected and the driver
is present the device works
Nope, USB host is a mode. It's the whole Master / Slave affair. Granted, it's automatic for most devices when another is connected... ah... that ought to answer my question I guess.
Hi,
Has anyone ever connected a USB printer to the Athena USB Host port?
Do you know if the X7501 running WM6 has a low-level USB driver that automatically map the USB port to LPT1? I have a USB printer that I would like to connect to the Athena for printing, but I am wondering how to access it.
Thanks in advance! John
Note: sorry if already posted on the WM6 forum but not sure to which one it belongs
As far as I know, Windows mobile has only to USB drivers, mass storage and HID. I don't think a USB printer would work here.
I've seen this done with other Android devices (ie. Droid), but I haven't seen any mention of USB-OTG or USB Host Mode around here... so, just a quick question for the actual gurus around here:
Is it possible to unlock/open/use the microUSB port to connect USB peripherals to a NC? (keyboards, microphones, etc)
Thanks ahead of time!

Does anyone have info on this possibly being in say... CM7?

this looks like the source for the sites claiming to have usb host mode guides on the xoom, but it doesnt look like more than just usb drive support
It's in the works.
