[Gumstix-users] off the wall verdex/USB idea

[Mike C. <ru...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I've pretty much given up on trying to get the USB connection from the
24-pin connector on my verdex. That said, I borrowed a friends consoleVX
board and conformed that the second port works. Studying the schematics for
that board, I've found that the D+ and D- are essentially passed directly
from the hirose connector to the USB port. Since this has been proven to
work on my board, could I use those from, say, a tweener? IE: do some fancy
soldering with the vias on a tweener to get a USB port (power, gound coming
from other points on the tweener). Would this method still work if I was
also using a robostix with this stack (getting the power from the robostix
board, but still using the USB data lines form the tweener)? I'm guessing
that, like the robostixaudio, that the USB lines from the hirose connector
are not connected to anything.

Thanks,
Mike Caruso
