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.

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

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.

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 ....
 
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
