Host function for ASUS P525 ? - General Topics

Hi,
First, I'm new around here, so hello everyone!
I've purchased a P525 which I should receive soon.
My question
According to this article, the P525 might qualify as being host capable, meaning one could plug some USB card reader into the P525 USB port and use whatever data stored on a CF or SD card for instance. For example, I have a card reader and a 8GB CF card filled with music would it be possible to use this data using the P525? Does anyone ever attempted to use some host function on a P525?
I've googled this topic in every way but found no one that ever mentioned this was tried on a P525...

Huh? No one ever tried if host function works on a P525 ??
OK then, an easy one : I've noticed some of you are using a 4GB minisd card on their P525. I know the device will not comply with SDHC standard, but what about regular minisd? What combination of brand (TOPRAM?) and ROM does this need to work?
MANY THANKS !!

P525 has no support for USB host. This is hardware limitation.

Thank you Ingvarr ! Well, I've asked because if you follow the link to the article in my first post, you would read this:
«Intel has built in USB Host functionality into the PXA27x series of chips»
But of course, if ASUS never implemented it ... that's way too bad - unless someone finds out it can be done using a software solution. I just hope I'll find the way to have a 4GB minisd card to work with the P525, because 2GB is just too short.

HERE
There's someone named Ingvarr (coincidence?) who designed a nice little program that can play host with a WM5 device.
Can't wait to try it on my P525 once I get it...

OUPS ! Sorry Ingvarr.. I've just realized your app is not meant for what I had in mind... Nice program though.

USB on the go

Do USB on the go devices work on Windows mobile 2003 SE, like that mp3 player of iaudio and is it possible to play files of a usb on the go device???????
i'm not 100% but i recall that last time it was up (maybe search can find that thread)
people said that the ati chip in the xda2 supported it but the ati chip dident control the usb of the device so it was up to the xcale cpu which dident support it
nah tryed searching with a few querys, didnt work and searching manualy is like searching for a needle in a haystag....
anyway, but file transefer is possible?, cuz i have a 1gb sd and its not realy hard to transfere stuff from the unit to the pda (thouh it wil be painstakingly slow :? )
hhmmm your sd card would use the SDIO connector
it's not the same thing as the usb connector
i use sd cards all the time they are ok
here is the thread i think i was talking about....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13518&highlight=usb
and this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4733&highlight=usb
Tnx Rudegar, i was also searching, found one of them.
so from what i read, its not possible to connect my magician to a usb-on-the-go device....

Storage Extension via USB?

hello everybody!
tried to find it in the forum, not sure whether somebody asked that before:
Is it possible to extend the storage of the diamond via some usb device? can you buy extensions like that? is it technically possible?
greetinx, kruemelmonzta
im sure it is technically possible. Would be nice wouldnt it? *sigh*
The Diamond doesn't have an internal USB Host, so it's not possible.
thanx for the quick answer though i'm not so content with that
can there be a bluetooth/wifi-solution for external storage? would eat loads of battery, for sure...

Diamond DOES have a internal USB host. The problem is that it is not supported by the software. But in the technical manual (available in the WIKI) there talk abou a Y cable for upgrading ROM.
There are some people working on this...
I've seen that adapter too. But that doesn't mean the Diamond's got USB host. It could be a very special HOST-Adapter, which of coz would need special drivers.
Where have you seen people talking about working on it?
Hi,
I remember reading an artical on engadget a while ago (few months) and it was about a mobile disk drive (2.5") with wifi/bluetooth access. So you can just browse the HDD from your phone/pocket pc.
I just found a link to the Item
http://www.trustedreviews.com/storage/news/2007/02/01/Seagate-Offers-Mobile-Bluetooth-Storage/p1
Looks cool and a very good option.
With shared network folder and WIFI I have no probs at all ... 1 Terabyte to my use.

so how does this work exactly? Because even I use remote desktop to log into my PC at home. But how can you, lets say play an album from your 1 Terabyte of storage. How can you view pics? How can you do these things on the fly without first remote desktop-ing into your PC, copying to your Diamond and run?
D.A.V.E. seems to be very interesting. you can't buy it yet, can you?

It's no much, but maybe someone could work on it.

Yes, but does not let you play music from there.

active sync damn slow

hey
i've a realy big problem
yesterday ive started copzing educkys map to vox via active sync (yesterday 13°°(germany) now its 8°° and its still not finished!
there are "only" 2.2gb to transfer yes its still transfering!
what on hell can i do making it faster
i already have an cardreade rbut i lend it to a friend so ive to use active sync.
Ofcourse you can try wm5torage. It makes your vox a cardreader. This way you don't have to use AS.

WM5Storage is even slower than Activesync
Why making such a fuzz about AS or WM5storage? The USB hardware on most HTC phones can only cope with the slowest speed for USB. My experience is that WM5torage is about double the speed of AS and AS varies if in RNDIS or Serial mode. Fastest write I get on my Vox is around 300kB/sec (and 700kB/sec at read) for large files. If you have to transfer a lot of data (like your 2.2 Gig), just pull out the microSD (hey it is hot-pluggable!), put it in a card-reader and load it via this. My 8GB class6 Sandisk microSD came with a tiny reader and that writes at a speed of 10MB/sec. I never have the patience to do this via AS or WM5torage.
Is there any way nueMassstorage can be ported to Vox? Asking all the Genuses here (not mere dumb users like me ). It gives awesome speed!
The slowth is caused by the hardware, not the software.
Use a decent cardreader instead.
No software will bring the HW to speeds it cannot support. Follow up the WM5torage thread at MoDaCo. Some (very few) devices have both, capable USB Hardware and a decent USB driver in firmware that allows to exploit the full HW speed. Otherwise buy a tiny microSD cardreader for 5$ and enjoy speeds you never seen before...

The Gene and Vox has almost the same hardware, but the difference of speed is quite remarkable between WM5Storage and nuemassstorage, BTW I have used both the software in the Gene and confirmed it.

CF card not working

I'm very sad and I'm hoping someone can help me with ANY idea that might work. I just bought a LifeView FlyPresenter CF card for my pda because I heard awesome things about it. Unfortunately any and all attempts to install the card so far have been unsuccessful with any driver version I could find. Plugging the card in hangs the pda until I remove it and soft-resetting with the card in hangs the boot process...when I remove it the thing boots normally and then gives me an error box saying it can't recognize the card (which I pulled out) and is looking for me to tell it what driver to use. I tried typing the driver name in the box but that did nothing, probably because I can't get the error box and have the card plugged in simultaneously. The Card is supposedly written for PPC 2002 and 2003 and I figured that it'd be compatible with WM6 but maybe I was mistaken....the software seemed to install normally and the app shows up on the programs list though.
So....I'm hoping somebody can help me either A) get the thing working or B) tell me how to trick the device into acting like a ppc 2003 or something crazy like that so that I can use the card in some limited way. It has a lot of awesome software and full motion video out that I want to take advantage of. Thank you for your kind support.
IPAQ 210 Enterprise
WM6 Classic (non cooked)
81 MB free RAM
39 MB free space on the device
Anybody? I'm totally helpless at this point...
hi there, the drivers are imcompatible i have a Lifview cam, its a noshow on my 6.1 custom, you need 2003/se for it to work.
Sorry

Aww ****..... Is there anyway to emulate the OS on a wm6 device? I don't care how complicated or weird it is....any means of running the hardware would be better than having to sell this thing after I just bought it.

Sorry, i don't thinks its possible.
Hey have you seen on their website that they have SDK software? I just saw it now. Apparently it allows you to write drivers for whatever platform you want by simply using their dll files and writing the drivers for them. Problem is the link is 404 and I can't find the sdk anywhere else. I know they have the same software for the flycam too. Maybe if we each are able to find our respective versions of the SDK we can both use our hardware again.
Any ideas where I could find the SDK? My methods of searching for things are limited to google but you might know where else such things are likely to be found...

Usb-otg works. Perdiod.

Hi
I did not find a answer here and found differing opinions in the web, so i write this.
Well, on Galaxy S2 plus, Usb OTG definitely works! :good:
I'm on 4.1.2 stock no rooted.
After I found a working adapter, I was able to make a keyboard (wow, many surprises like alt-tab that opens recent tasks and ctrl-alt-canc that reboots the phone), a mouse, a card reader (that did not work on another phone) a pendrive and even a external hard disk (not able to read files because of filesystem). NTFS looks like not supported (perhaps could with root and proper kernel module).
Well, that is.
Bye.
Bye
au revoir
Auf wiedersehen.
i think most of user here already know but u have my thanks
Well, i didn't know, and I didn't found useful info about it.
I even read somewhere that S2plus did NOT have usb otg...
