<div>>There are some (one?) hacks around, which seem to make N900 sort of USB host mode >device (I do not know how they exactly work), although officially the device does not support that (as expressed by Gil Quim).
<div><br>
The device with standard kernel does not support host mode or USB-OTG but<br>
it is possible to configure (hack) working as host mode but .<br>
<br>
I discussed with some developers that did the implementation, HW does not <br>
comply with the USB-OTG specification so we can't claim supporting it and for<br>
that reason standard kernel does not have it compiled in nor device does not<br>
have ID pin connected. The device is open, so if you put your own kernel and <br>
configure it working in host mode, you get USB host but that does not<br>
comply any specification.<br>
<br>
The <a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB" target="_blank">http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB</a> is good description.
<br>
The <a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_host_mode" target="_blank">http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_host_mode</a> is aomehow outdated and<br>
mostly talking about N800 and N810. They did not have USB host mode <br>
switched off from kernel driver and with them it was much more easy with <br>
my old usb-otg plugin. Sad that this more elegant solution is not possible in N900.<br>

Regarding whether N900 will support USB mode or not, I am confused about<br>
due to the statements on the following pages:<br>

<a href="http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB" target="_blank">http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB</a><br>
<br>
Can someone clarify?<br>
