USB Hub support for extending Beagleboard C5 with 512 MB Nand

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

Hello Champs,

I would like to know if a USB hub can be supported on Android 2.2/2.3 on Beagle board C4/C5.

if yes, can you please share some guidelines?

We actually needed an SBC with 512 MB Nand which can support NFS. So as per your wiki, we will use USB Host port to connect to the Ethernet. However, can this connection be done via an USB Hub, as we need more USB ports on the OMAP3530 based board?

Best Regards

Hello Ajay,

The question is more on "how to" get the 2 or more ports on beagle board C5 - On Android using an external hub. One of the ports on hub will be used to drive NFS and the other scan be for HID devices like mouse or for mass storage.

For Linux and w/o hub the below helps for NFS on beagle

We need to use Hub on Android

Can you please guide on this?

PS : We want to beagle board C5 as it has 512 MB Nand primarily and beagle XM dos not have any.

Best Regards

Feroz
