USB-OTG+

Last update: 2010-02-28

This is an adaption of the 'official' USB on-the-go Statusbar Plugin. The original plugin is made by Kate Alhola.

Changes:

• Added the option to insert kernel modules. It presents a File Open dialog to select the module file.
• Added the option to remove kernel modules from memory. It presents a list of currently loaded modules to select the one that is to be removed.
• Added the option to remove a process from memory (kill it). It presents a list of currently running processes to select the one that is to be removed and which signal is to be used in order to kill it.

Files

• usb-otg-plugin_0.0_armel.deb the package
• usb-otg-plugin_0.0.tar.gz the sources

Notes

• The reason I made this was that when inserting the joystick module the onscreen keyboard of my N800 stopped working. Removing the module restores the it again. Removing a module only works when it is not used anymore. Any process using it must be killed first.
• All development and testing is done under Maemo SDK 4.1.2. The deb file has been tested on a N800 running OS2008 version 5.2008.43-7.

Last update

• Killing processes did not work due wrong signal string.
