Ok the first phase is now running.I have a single board that computer that I installed OE embedded Linux on.1. Installed Samba so I can access fat 16 and fat32 drives.2. Compiled usbhostfs_pc for my linux os3. Created a startup file that starts usbhostfs_pc and points to the USB drive4. The USB drive is my 80 gig IPOD running in disk mode5. I installed a bunch of programs in a directory on the hard drive6. Plugged in the usb cable from the PSP to the Linux board7. Started usbhostfs from a prx file on the PSP8. Cruised to the root directory and damn if my IPOD now shows up as a memory stick !!!!!!IT WORKS !!!!!!!9. I have now cross compiled for the embedded xm4 board ( NO ERRORS )Things left to do.1. Waiting for xm4 board to arrive.2. When board arrives wire 2 USB Connectors onto board3. Run new xm4 board of PSP power supply4. Plug into psp sub port5. Test systemWhen all is working 1. Wire internal usb connection to usb on XM4 board2. Install switch to switch internal / external usb3. Mount usb host connector through the trim on bottom of PSPKICK ASS play games off my IPOD on my PSP !!!!!We are within a week / 2 weeks at the outside of having USB host running on the PSP !!!
so you're saying that you got the tiny linux pc working with the psp, ran usbhostfs_pc on the linux pc and conected your ipod to it. then it showed up as an extra mem stick on your psp???how much did it all cost? isn't that all you need, is the xm4 board necessary?
Yes I ran several of the games off the IPOD in real time.Worked GREAT !There are hundreds of people doing it already on their PCs.We are just miniaturizing it so it will fit inside the PSPSome people are running the same software off the NSLU2 and addingbattery packs so it is portable.Just as much horsepower just reely reely reely tiny
Pax yes to all of the above.Yes I have it working on a tiny linux computer. Yes I have it working on the same distribution of linux the new computer will runYes it shows up as a masive memory stickYes the new computer is .75 x 3 inches and is only 1 board the gumstix xm4 boardYou only have to add the usb connections to the xm4 boardcwm723I am working on a new project that I am getting price quotes of $60.00 on the xm4 boardbecause I am going to buy 1,000 of them at a time for another project.I will be able to resell some of those for what I pay for them.
