Re: [Gumstix-users] GPSstix and USB host

[notstix <art...@ho...>]

hi

Gpsstix can act as usb host with verdex. I'm using it right now. You get 11
or 12Mbit/s (full speed and not high speed).  With connex or basix boards I
don't know but remember hearing that gpsstix usb host works only with
verdex.
With verdex you can use 24pin connector to get usb host and plug more
advanced usb gps receiver there. You can use usb hub to plug more and more
devices. I don't know if its 12Mbit/s but believe it is too. Also you need
to power verdex board somehow. It has no power input like gpsstix has. You
can have cheap serial board with power input - you need that board for
making serial communications to verdex too.
Here's some info http://docwiki.gumstix.org/USB_24_Pin and there is more
somewhere.

Btw, I'm using gpsstix usb to connect usb wifi dongle and usb storage. Then
I have 24pin usb free to connect one usb cam - it needs a lot usb speed
