N900 Hardware USB Host

Contents

Status

Beta Release.

"Paul has found out that it is impossible (at least at the time of writing) to detect speed changes while VBUS is running, so for now, you have to select speeds manually. Use common sense in doing so, high speed is for devices that require a lot of writing and are fairly new (flash drives/HDDs/CD-drives, new hubs). Full speed devices are devices that do not require a lot of USB activity, such as BT/2.4GHz mouse transceivers. Low speed devices are normal mice and keyboards."
