Greetings, I have a few questions about the Verdex Pro. We have the Verdex XL6P with the netpro-vx and the console-vx expansion boards. My question is this: Can the USB port work as client-side USB (in addition to host-side USB), and if so, does anyone have any information on what driver we would need to talk to it from Windows? Best Regards, Na'Tosha Bard |

Which motherboard, expansion boards, etc. I'm not from gumstix but what I believe is: - basix and connex boards can't support usb host (therefore you can't plug in a usb device) - verdex does support usb host That leaves the question about which expansion boards are capable of exposing that usb host capability. I think this is answered by: http://docwiki.gumstix.org/Template:FAQ/Questions/usb-host_ethernet_compact-flash |

From what I understand: Basix & Connex support USB Client - Both now EOL - I am up the creek without a paddle. Verdex supports USB Host - Client is possible if someone writes a driver - Overo supports USB HOST and USB OTG. USB Client needs to be written - Gumstix has done a great job bringing us new products and setting up the development environments for us. I am particularly exited about these products and the work that has gone into Open Embedded etc. To further their product, urgent attention to the details their customers require is the next logical step. I am sure that prospective customers also have shied away because of missing features that should be there. From experience I find that the Open Source community cannot do everything for every product . There are not a great deal of developers who are up to the challenge of writing USB drivers or at least have the available time to do so. I certainly fail on both counts. I would like to see Gumstix take the lead on these issues that are seemingly never resolved. Such as USB client support.

It is a kernel config option to select USB Host, USB OTG, or USB Client. The kernel, as shipped, has been built with the config option for USB Host (since the rootfs is X11 based and requires a USB KB and Mouse) To get client mode support you will need to edit the kernel config to enable client mode and rebuild the kernel.

USB on Verdex Pro is host only. You can select device/client in the kernel config, but the implementation does not work. I'm not aware of anyone who has found and fixed this issue. Steve |

So no matter which expansion board is used, you will never have the Verdex Pro operate as a USB device because the wiring just isn't there. I have read other things that indicate the UDC driver is being worked on, which will be of benefit for other PXA270 based systems. Is there going to be a gumstix mainboard that brings out the USB device signals or will there be no gumstix replacement for basix motherboard for creating USB devices? We presently use the basix motherboard and will need to find a replacement.
