Usb Working !!!! On Gp32linux :)

[toholl]

I just used the connector and add 5v on big red and black wires.

​

thanks for the photo! i will make one that night!

​

I forget: here I used a REGULATED 5V power supply.
If you want to use a unregulated one (cheapest), you must add a 5V regulator (7805) and 2 or 3 condensators.
I will put a simple schematics as soon as possible.

 

[ingeras]

if you are not skilled in electronics
use a powered hub like me !!!
cf pics

and i use
USB Adaptor A(Female)-A(Female)
cf links in my precedent posts

 

[Splinter]

This would be a good when it is released

Here

Perfect size

i'm a total noob, but those 5V things do you have to put them in the electrical socket (sorry if this isn't ther correct english word) or do you have ones with batteries and are they small or big and the pricerange?

if you want to help me
seek on google and other search engines
how to cross compilg libwww and viewml

thanks

wounder if a 3volt USB HArd Drive will ever be released then you could use the EXT port

 

[Fire_Blade]

yeah cus you can't realy acces your usb hd if you don't have an electrical socket nearby.

and why doesn't GPlinux have a forum?

 

[Steve-O]

has anyone tried powering one with only 3 volts?

 

[Vimacs]

i think drawnig the power from the ext port will fry it 500ma is toooooooooooooo much for it. however you could maybe draw teh power direcktly from the batetrys and step it up to 5v. but thats no good way

not to sure though

 

[Vimacs]

hey thats nice

 

[ingeras]

hey thats nice

​

nice,nice, i will try ...
thanks




by the way
we can use binaries
from
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/

so have a look of what is interesting and could work on gp32

 

[ingeras]

WARNING !!!!
------------
toholl told me his powered hub doesnt work
so it seems that not all
usb hubs are working !!!

so ask a friend to try his/her hub
before buying one

 

[OmarNawaz]

Hi

i am gonna summarise all the info in this thread like i said before i have quite alot of time on my hands.


So if you guys could give me a list of questions you would like answered in a FAQ i will write it up straight away.



thanks


btw no outrageous questions please what i mean is try to give me questions that are possible under gplinux nothing like "Will doom 3 run on Gplinux once it is released?"

 

[Steve-O]

nothing like "Will doom 3 run on Gplinux once it is released?"

​

What about Half Life running on it??

 

[ingeras]

i have uploaded
to http://www.gp32news.com/gp32linux/USBFILES/

a initrd_nochatboard
and a start
to test usb if you dont have a chatboard

plug your powered hub
turn on gp

after is started you should see a message like
cant mount /dev/sda, no such device

after that plug your memory stick or hdd or cdrom, smc card reader, ...
and you should have a message like

USB new device connect on bus .....
Manufacturer ....
Product ....
.....
Attached scsi removable disk ....


if you unplug you have
usb disconnect on device ....

 

[Vimacs]

dont forget to set
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 u
to the right device if you use a multicard reader or more than one device
you have to change the number after sda to the right one.

​

well , in fact as we are working from scratch

you have to add entries in /dev/
for sda1,sda2,sb1, ...whatever you need


-------------
edit:
you can download and build mksquashfs [part of squashfs package ] from
http://www.artemio.net/projects/linuxdoc/s...shFS-HOWTO.html

then you can make your own initrd or packages [file systems]
i uploaded [ http://www.gp32news.com/gp32linux/USBFILES/] a .tar of the initrd
so you can see what is inside
and adapt it to your needs
