Sabre Board for Smart Devices question?

[sparkyee]

Hi,

    I just recieved my Sabre Board for Smart Devices. I have gotten the

board to boot to a serial console OK. I ahve also hooked up a HDMI

monitor and can see ANDROID booting up to a start screen with a

clock and lock symbol showing. I have tried to get a mouse and/or keyboard

to work on the other USBOTG port but they don't see to have power. I

am trying to unlock the ANDROID screen to see other APPS.  I also

tried putting a mouse on the Debug USB/serial emulator port with no

success. How do I power up these peripherals??

Thanks a Lot!

Larry

I tried to connect a USB mouse on the SDP with the recent Android (13.4.1) demo image - it works.

Hello,Yuri & Larry,

     The BSP I checked is linux(L3.0_1.1.0_121218 Version),So Thank you for your supplying status of OTG on android.

Hello,Larry,

     By default, USB OTG works as device, It's power is not opened. If you want it to work as a host, you do a little modification in BSP source code. open linux/arch/arm/mach-mx6/board-mx6q_sabresd.c,and find function "static void __init imx6q_sabresd_init_usb(void)", in this function, open USB OTG POWER. see following:

static void __init imx6q_sabresd_init_usb(void)

{

....

//gpio_direction_output(SABRESD_USB_OTG_PWR, 0);

gpio_direction_output(SABRESD_USB_OTG_PWR, 1);

...

}

then recompile linux kernel and burn it into iNAND FLASH or SD card , boot your board, USB OTG can be used as HOST, your mouse can be used.

Reards,
