Yeah, that was my idea like 2 posts ago. Make it external at attach it whenever you need it. I wouldn't hot glue it. I wouldn't want to ruin the outside of my axim. Somehow we're going to have to just -not- use the traces to the BT. We're going to have to find the other host and use it.
I think I figured out why they would hook BT to USB instead of the pxA270's bt.
cheaper... I bet it's alot cheaper to use a usb BT host instead of making something special for the pxa270... just a thought. Hookup a bt usb stick, give it drivers, and you're done. Instead of tons of R&D, just use what you already have.
Anyways, on another note, I PM'd Afarre with alot of questions and he asked me to post them here so he can answer them here.
"Hi, You're doing a great job, and if I had enough money I'd almost copy everything you've done here.
I wanted to ask you something...
If we were to get usb to work natively on the axim, where can you find drivers for these things?
I was pretty stupid, I thought the ratoc card could only do like... thumbsticks. After seeing what you had done, I'm simply amazed.
With the ratoc card, you're able to run a 160gb hdd (as if it was a cf card right?) and run the touchscreen at the same time? Do you think CE .NET drivers will work with the built in usb host (if we get it to work)?
And are you able to just use an CE drivers? Or do you have to find CE 5.0 drivers? Do the drivers have to be geared for the ratoc card?
Thanks, sorry to bug you, but I'm fighting the urge to open up my x51v, find those BT paths, and try this USB thing out... I wouldn't be too upset if my BT stopped working, I never use it."
There just really isn't that much information about that ratoc card. Maybe since afarre has some experience with it he can enlighten us all :P
Has anyone taken a look around some of the linux sites? They usually get alot of the hardware information and/or where/how it connects to the proc.
I'm going to go take a look and see if anyone on the linux projects can help us.
