Title: C1000 Usb Not Working :(
Post by: evilsocket on May 16, 2008, 07:50:37 am

Hi guys, first of all sorry for my ugly english XD

I have a Sharp Zaurus SL-C1000, with Cacko ROM 1.23, Qtopia 1.5.4 and kernel 2.4.20 .

Recently i've bought a usb host adapter ( USB A/F to MINI 5p/M ) and tried to connect some usb peripherals such as usb pen drives (vfat formatted, 1GB), usb mouse and so on to my pda, but nothing seems to work

i installed the following ipks :

Code: [Select]

usb-serial-modules-2.4.20
usb-storage-modules-2.4.20
automounter-c3000_0.4.5
inputhelper_1.0.1-1
ntfs-zaurus_2.4.20
and then typed :

Code: [Select]

modprobe usbserial
modprobe usb-storage
modprobe usbmouse
modprobe ntfs
so my lsmod is :

Code: [Select]

sharp_mmcsd_m          41088   2
bvdd                   11136   0  (unused)
and relative dmesg :

nothing works anyway ... any hint ?

Well, I have the exact same zaurus, running the exact same ROM (Cacko, heavy), and USB works fine. The ROM supports USB without the need to add *any* software, maybe your cable is faulty or your attached devices require more power than the zaurus can provide via usb?? If that's the case, you'll need a powered hub.

If the powered hub doesn't work, you could try removing the ipks.  I've not *used* Cacko, but on both pdaXii13 and Debian I have no problem plugging in a USB "travel" mouse, full-sized USB keyboard or reading/writing to a 2gig USB flash memory stick with my C1000.  I do need a powered hub for anything else, but if a USB mouse won't work (after trying the powered hub) I'd look at the cable or at the Z's internals.
