{{Languages|USB host}}
The mini-USB port on both the Neo 1973 and the Neo FreeRunner supports both USB host and USB device. This opens up a range of possibilities, such as adding USB cameras and USB input devices.

=== Using USB host mode ===
==== Selecting USB host modes ====
'''Please take into account that due to kernel changes sysfs paths can change, if you can't find a particular node, just use the “find” command'''

By default, the mini-USB port is in device mode. To tell the Neo that it is logically a host¹:

# echo host > [[GTA02 sysfs|/sys]]/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode

Independent of the logical mode of the USB port, the Neo FreeRunner can provide 5 volt USB power to an attached USB device. To enable this (not available on Neo 1973):

# echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode

Please note, on my fairly new kernel (andy-tracking commit de8460932576502fb6bf61968a37c4d2aed2d6e2), this node is in /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode . And from 901d73fe51f33032b34b2ae5612eb863ec90532a Wed Apr 8 commit, usb_mode node is at /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode .

Note: You may want to run <code>ifconfig usb0 down</code> prior to switching to USB host mode, as the Neo's USB networking may not like having its USB port disappear. You'll probably want to ssh into your Neo over WiFi or Bluetooth before starting all of this, alternatively use an on screen keyboard.

Note that in full USB host mode the FreeRunner will power the external device. To avoid draining the battery use a powered USB hub, then on the FreeRunner enable logical host mode:

# echo host > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode

but NOT electrical host mode

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode

Note that powered USB hubs do not send power upstream, that is, into the host. If you wish to power or charge the FreeRunner, you will need a [[Specialized USB cables|special USB cable]].

¹)Debian note: You'll need the ohci-hcd module:
modprobe ohci-hcd

* NOTE: with [FSO] based distributions one should use the [[Dbus device API|dbus APIs]] and not the method stated above.

==== Returning to USB device mode ====
After doing whatever is needed to safely remove your device and unplugging it you can remove the provision of 5 volt power and return to device mode.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode 
echo device > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode

You can now safely restart USB networking

ifconfig usb0 up

==== USB-Mode-Script====
This simple script switches between USB-Modes:

#!/bin/sh
grep -q 'host' /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode
echo device > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode
ifconfig usb0 up
echo USB-Port is in device-mode now.
else
ifconfig usb0 down
echo host > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode
lsusb
echo USB-Port is in host-mode now.
fi

See this [https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2166 bug] for a justification for adding the lsusb hack.

==== USB-Mode-Script (2.6.28+ kernels) ====
The paths change slightly since 2.6.28:

#!/bin/sh
grep -q 'host' /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo 0 > '''/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073'''/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode
echo device > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode
ifconfig usb0 up
echo USB-Port is in device-mode now.
else
ifconfig usb0 down
echo host > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode
echo 1 > '''/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073'''/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode
lsusb
echo USB-Port is in host-mode now.
fi

Note: For me (2.6.29-rc3), it is /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode ...

==== Using a GUI ====
* Using the packaged push button derived from the script above: [http://blogs.thehumanjourney.net/finds/resource/usbmode-button_0.3_armv4t.ipk Download]
* [[User:Techiem2|Mark D. Montgomery II]]'s [http://techiem2.net/index.php?/archives/10-Freerunner-USB-Mode-Control-Program.html application] controls all the various modes through a GUI
* Thomas Vesely's [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/usbchmod/ project]
* Using the gtk+ gui [[Framework-settings]]
* Using [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/panel-plugin openmoko-panel-plugin]

=== Providing power to connected USB devices while in host mode ===

Normally, USB host ports provide power to any connected USB device.

Available power in host mode is the full maximum of 500mA according to USB-specifications on the Neo FreeRunner, and no power is available in host mode on the Neo 1973. If your USB device respects USB-standards and consumes not more than 500mA, you may connect it directly to your Neo FreeRunner.

To provide power to USB devices attached to your Neo 1973, or to provide power to your Neo FreeRunner while USB-device connected, you can provide power by using a (modified [for powering FreeRunner]) powered USB hub (see below), or by manually injecting power into the attached USB device (and Neo FreeRunner) via one of the [[specialized_USB_cables]].

=== Powered USB hubs known to work with the Neo ===

(please add any known to work)

=== Providing power to run and charge the Neo while in host mode ===

A slightly separate issue is power to run and charge the Neo (both types) itself. When the USB port is in device mode, the Neo FreeRunner/1973 can be powered and recharged via the USB port, but when in standard host mode, the Neo FreeRunner is set to provide power and does not charge. Fortunately, control of the direction of power (in or out) is independent of the personality of the USB port (host or device):

To recap, the direction of power can be controlled:

Set to 0 (default), no power is provided at the USB port, charging is enabled, and host 15K pulldowns are removed from D+ and D-:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode

Set to 1, provides up to 500mA USB power at the USB port (FreeRunner only), disables charging from USB, and applies 15K pulldowns to USB D+ and D-:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode

Next, power must somehow be injected. An unmodified powered USB hub only provides power to the connected devices, but not to the connected host, so the only solution here is to modify a USB-hub¹) or to create a custom cable which will inject power into the host. See [[specialized_USB_cables]] for some examples.

(However, as there is a wide range[http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.hardware/415]
of USB hubs out there, one might find power (on a powered USB hub)
is available already on the hub's mini USB 5 pin socket already, so not need a specialized cable after all!
Check with a test meter.)

Finally, there is the question of charge rate. The charging logic in the Neo will only charge at 100mA by default. Charging at 500mA will take place only if the charging device responds appropriatly to USB negotiation to increase power consumption. Charging at 1000mA will only take place if the Neo detects the appropriate resistor on the ID pins.

You can manually set the charge rate. See [[Forcing_fast_charge_mode]]

¹) often it's sufficient to short a diode in USB-hub to feed power to the host-connector too.
# Edit 05 Oct. 2008 : Not being able to find any diode on my ([[User:Henrikz|Henrikz]]) USB Hub (Brand: Equip, Type: 4 port, aluminum) I simply connected +5V (pin 1) from one of the downstream ports to pin 1 of the upstream port.

=== Power Concerns ===
You'll need to force the Neo to go into fast charge mode, since it can't do its usual power negotiation over USB.

echo -n fast_cccv > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0008/chgmode

(Also this should be done by kernel when seeing 47K at ID-pin)

=== Working Examples ===

==== USB Keyboard ====

==== Connecting a USB-Stick ====
[[Image:connecting-usb-stick-1.jpg|thumb|left]]
I found this adapter, it has 2 Type A jacks, rather cheap (about 5 €).
 

[[Image:connecting-usb-stick-2.jpg|thumb|left]]
I borrowed the cable from a card reader, it has the same pinout like the cable that comes with the Neo.

Wishlist/Accessories

2009-06-05T02:41:38Z

Jerjozwik: /* Ability to connect a USB keyboard to the phones USB port */

{{Hardware Wishlist}}
This is a page detailing accessories that may be of use for your Neo1973.

This is both accessories that do not exist, and existing devices that may be good to add to a web-store.

Advertising on this page is permitted, but keep it brief and factual.

=Existing devices=

==Storage Devices==

* '''Seagate's DAVE (Digital Audio Video Experience)''' with Bluetooth 2.0 WiFi 802.11b/g and USB-on-the-go-Interface (USB-OTG) http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/marketing/po_DAVE.pdf

==Input Devices==

===Pedometer===

There are (at least) two uses for a Bluetooth pedometer as a Neo1973 accessory:

* As an input device for exercise-monitoring software

* A pedometer combined with a compass (see [[Wish_List_-_Hardware#Digital_compass]]) would allow the positioning software to perform [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning dead reckoning] when the GPS signal has been lost. The US Army's [http://www.army-technology.com/projects/land_warrior/ Land Warrior system] already does this. (Maybe the pedometer is partly redundant with the accelerometers for dead reckoning tasks? See the [http://www.autospectator.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=9942 SiRFDiRect announcement].)

=Wishlist=
==Special covers==
Different special covers could be made available with features like:
* A standard slip-on or clip-on template (possibly with buttons) to make the touch-screen blind accessible
* Small metal frame for protection (like Siemens M65, only with more style)
* Case with mirror on the back, for putting on makeup/checking appearance or helping with self-portraits with an integrated camera.
* Option to completely design printable case styles, perhaps with engraving. Ability to share these on a 'community' site.
* Solar powered recharger (perhaps as extendable/unfoldable [[Expansion Back]]).
* Rubber protection like available for iPod, of course in different colors and transparency.
* Underwater case. This could be a housing that fits around a normal FreeRunner like the kinds for digital cameras. Alternatively, it could be an actual case that the FreeRunner guts fits into.
* Screen Protector: A simple and very easy to produce screen protector, like the one on my iPaq:

Protector Flipped up image: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/ppct-ipaq6900-preview-small-01.jpg

Protector Flipped down image: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/ppct-ipaq6900-preview-small-06.jpg

This serves the dual purpose of protecting the screen from scratches, and stopping user's ear/face from accidentally pressing buttons while talking.
* Scratch-proof protector a la [[InvisibleShield]]

==Car kit==
A car kit with a cradle which simultaneously recharges the device.

==Bike kit==
Sporting a GPS, the phone would be ideal to have mounted by a bracket on the bike handle bars. Viewable from your position over the handlebars. Snap-on/snap-off, and some locking mechanism that actually keeps the phone from getting airborne on a hard break. Also, a basic spring on the bracket, making bumps softer on the phone. This type of bracket would cost peanuts to make.
Should also include a padded and waterproof pack that you can place the phone inside, keeping it (somewhat) safe from the elements.
Would also be really cool if it was possible to create a dynamo that can charge the phone, like old school bike headlights.
=== Cadence ===
Something to measure the Cadence like a normal bike computer would be great.
=== Heartbeat ===
Have the possibility to measure the heartbeat would make it a great accessory for training :)
;See also
*[[Biking]]
*[[User:ThomasT#Bicycle Computer]]

==Charger conversion connector==
A flexible converter allowing you to recharge the Neo1973 with power from many DC sources such as other devices chargers.
Problems are that it may overload the DC source. It may require sensing of the input voltage, and reducing load if the voltage drops by a factor. Ideally the device should accept input voltage in the range of around 3.3v-28V in either polarity.

==Ability to connect a USB keyboard to the phones USB port==

It has a USB port. There are USB keyboards everywhere. It would be great to be able to ssh anywhere over wifi with a regular sized keyboard.

*This functionality already exists in SHR-testing. shr-settings>connectivity>set usb to host

'''Portability'''

I think it should all be seen within the context of portability.
Have a keyboard incorporated, hinged along the long side, as noted elsewhere, with a micro-switch that induces hibernation on closing to conserve power.
Limit the touch screen function to different aspects of the file system and peripheral aspects - in other words, don't limit it to a phone.
Those of us on the go need a phone, yes, but a lot more.
And all of society is evolving in this direction, so the product needs to also to survive.

USB2 - obviously, could be employed for something like this:

[http://www.techpin.com/new-32gb-usb-flash-drives-from-corsair/]

on which an entire OS with a massive /home partition could be carried round on a keyring.

Why try to crowd it all onto one screen when all you have to do is make an alteration in the size of your belt mounted, carry pouch.

The world needs the portable office, not just the portable phone.

==Make the stylus laser-pen recharge its batteries from phone while "docked"==

The stylus pen with built in laser pointer and flashlight seemed too big to be able to be attached to the phone while it is not being used, according to the demonstration video. If that is the case, make a slot on the phone where one can "dock" the pen while not using it. Make the phone recharge the batteries in the pen while the pen is docked to the phone.

==USB laser pointer==

Make a laser pointer that plugs into the USB connector and controlled in the same through the same interface that that wold make the FreeRunner a presentation remote control.

==Bluetooth earpiece with possible both-ears use==

It will be like a regular bluetooth speaker, but with another (wired or wireless) speaker in the other ear for music listening and telephony. The main, bulky piece with bluetooth could have a multi-purpose button: for answering calls when it whispers the name of the caller in my ears, or to raise/lower the volume of music or telephone call.

Would be nice to have them for the left-handed too.

==Make a VGA and/or DVI out connector==

The screen on the phone is small. But if it had a VGA out connector, we could connect an ordinary full sized monitor to it. It already has a USB connector. Imagine the coolness of attaching a usb keyboard and a 22" widescreen monitor to your ''phone'' and then viewing youtube videos through the phones wlan connection. You wouldn't have to carry around your laptop anymore since usb keyboards and vga monitors are availible practically everywhere.

This also may be used to show the conference presentations. There is enough memory in the phone to store the average presentation (the pdf or maybe even html formats could be used). Having the VGA port would transform it into very lightweight tool that could even replace a laptop for some people. It may be OK to have the same VGA resolution as presentations are usually prepared with the big fonts and figures.

== Pouch ==
The pouch could have external or internal place to keep the stylus.

== USB camera ==
A camera connected to the usb port.

== AUX button flashlight ==
Replace the indicator LED beneath the AUX button with a high brightness LED that can be used as a flashlight.

Keyboard Toggle

2009-06-05T02:39:33Z

Jerjozwik: /* Alternatives */

{{Languages|Keyboard Toggle}}
The [[Om 2008.8]] and [[Om 2007.2]] Openmoko [[distributions]] have been designed to bring up an on-screen keyboard which supplies keystroke information to applications. However, this requires the cooperation of the application, which is a problem for software designed with another X11 based phone stack in mind, or software which has been quickly ported from Linux desktop systems, because it will never bring up a keyboard for (possibly important) keystroke information. It is also possible that the keyboard could be brought or remain up by accident when you don't want it there, or even software specifically designed with this functionality in mind may occasionally fail or become confused when an on screen keyboard is supposed to be available.

See [[Om2008.8 Keyboard]] for details of the Om 2008.8 keyboard's usage.

== Alternatives ==
Alternatively, you can try connecting a [[Manually_using_Bluetooth#Being_able_to_use_HID_devices|bluetooth keyboard]] or [[Usb_keyboard|USB keyboard]] (Only available with a special cable, or an extra special cable in the case of the older unpowered USB units.)

== Reactivating the keyboard toggle under Om 2008.8 ==
For advanced users using the [[Om 2008.8]] [[Distributions|distribution]], it may be worth your while to change the E17 theme information which prevents the 'qwerty' link in the upper left from showing.

=== On the phone ===

==== Method 1 ====

Simply install the illume-config theme:

opkg install illume-config

Attention: With a Om2008.8 you have then the qpe bug [http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1691]. The 'new' Om2008.9-gta02-20081117.rootfs.tar.gz did not have this bug, so a
tar -zxf /media/mmcblk0p2/ in /

fix the bug, but then your settings are restored.

==== Method 2 ====
Install the tools required to decompile and recompile E17 theme code.

opkg install libevas-saver-png edje-utils cpp cpp-symlinks libembryo-tests

Decompile the theme (asu or illume), and edit the edc file

cd /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes
edje_decc {THEME}.edj
cd {THEME}
vi freerunner.edc

Search for the text 'qwerty'. This should take you to the section which defines the small 'qwerty' button in the upper left.

* Under 'part { name: "kbd";' change 'visible 0;' to 'visible 1;', and change 'relative: 0.0 1.0; ' to 'relative: 1.0 1.0; '
* Under 'part { name: "kbdtext";' change 'visible 0;' to 'visible 1;'

And then recompile the .edj

sh build.sh
mv {THEME}.edj ../{THEME}.edj

And finally restart X to take new theme in use
/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart

=== Building a custom package ===
If that doesn't work, follow the instructions on [[Mokomakefile|building Om 2008.8 from source]]. Unpack the source for the package 'illume-theme', edit its edc file using the same method described above, and then finish building the ipk. You should be able to install this ipk, overiding the previous configuration.

=== Upgrading ===
If you upgrade, such as with opkg upgrade, you may have to perform the modification again.

=== In base-image (testing) ===

The openmoko-base-image installs both ''illume'' and ''asu'' themes. You can change theme by editing E's profile. To get QWERTY and the wrench back in base-image, you have use the ''illume'' theme. So there are 3 steps to do:

sed -i -e s,asu,illume, /etc/enlightenment/default_profile

And you have to restart the X to apply changes

/etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart

after waiting for few seconds you get result

[http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/001758.html Reference]

{{note | this is not necessary, see page [[Enlightenment .cfg]], it will guide you to get Wrench & QWERTY button & Illume/Raster's keyboard in ASU theme}}

=== Englightments segfaults with Illume theme too often? ===

If after switching to ''illume'' theme, you experience plentiful of WDOD (white dialog of death) stating that you should recompile and gdb the Enlightenment, you have two choices:

# Disable 'Dropshadow' module (go to illume config (Wrench) -> Modules). It still might segfault at some places but now phone becomes usable with illume theme
# Switch to ''software_x'' from ''software_16'' (same illume config (Wrench) -> Engine). The side-effect is general slow down of graphics performance

Jerjozwik: replacement talk

It would be good to add information on what brand/model numbers can be used here.

== Trick ==

I'm not sure it it solves a 'deep discharge' problem. I noticed that if the power from USB is not sufficient to boot Linux it is sufficient to log into NOR.
Than if I discharged OM:
1. Connect the USB connector
2. OM would try to boot but kernel panic will occure due to insufficient battery (flashing red light)
3. I can turn off the phone and switch it on logging into NOR (I have to check if I can skip to this step by holding AUX)
4. Then I wait a while and choose to boot OM

== Replacement Battery ==
Do we have any updates on the replacement battery table? are there any batteries that correctly show charging information?
