==Devices==

This is a list of USB devices that have been tested on the Pandora. If the device you want to know about isn't listed here, don't worry! Just go to [[USB_reference|the USB reference page]], look up the specs of your device, and you may be able to figure out if it's compatible.

Each type of device will have its own unique way to troubleshoot.
 +
 +
But here are some general tips:
 +
 +
* Is USB-Host enabled?
 +
* check <tt>lsusb</tt>
 +
* check <tt>dmesg</tt>
 +
 +
When asking for help on [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/forum/8-support/ the forums support board], be sure to post both your <tt>lsusb</tt> and <tt>dmesg</tt>.
 +
 +
Because <tt>dmesg</tt> output is very long, you need to paste it within [spoiler] tags like this:
 +
 +
  [spoiler]
 +
  (paste your dmesg in here)
 +
  [/spoiler]
 +
 +
An easy way to get your <tt>dmesg</tt> so you can easily copy and paste it, is:
 +
 +
  dmesg|leafpad
 +
 +
<tt>leafpad</tt> will open with the output of <tt>dmesg</tt>.
 +
 +
If you have no networking on your palmtop, you can send the information to a text file like this:
 +
 +
  cd (your storage card)
 +
  dmesg>textfile.txt
 +
  sync
 +
 +
Then you can remove your card (if no programs are using it or PNDs are running on it) and bring it to a card reader on your desktop.
 +
 +

 +
 +
Please see the [[Mobile Broadband]] page for tips on how to get these working, as well as [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54318-guide-mobile-broadband-usb-stick-usage/ this tutorial] from the GP32X forum.
 +
 +
== HSDPA (3G) Modems ==
 +
 +
Please note that many (if not all) USB 3G modems need modemmanager to be installed for switching from mass storage mode to serial communications mode. When first plugged in, most 3G USB modems claim to be a mass storage device and offer, on its built-in flash, drivers and connectivity software to be installed. Mostly this is only for Windows and Mac, so for the Pandora this is not useful. modemmanager instantly takes care of toggling the mode, so that when you plug in the modem, after a few seconds or maybe half a minute modemmanager has switched the modem to communications mode and NetworkManager is able to use it.
 +
 +
If you are using a Firmware before HF7 (or one of its Alpha/Beta versions) you have to install modemmanager. To do so, connect your Pandora to the Internet, open a terminal and, as a super user, intall it via opkg by entering the commands:
 +
 +
:sudo opkg update
 +
:sudo opkg install modemmanager
 +
 +
'''Note:''' If you are using a firmware more recent than "Zaxxon" Hotfix 6 (starting with HF7) you do not have to follow the steps outlined above since modemmanager comes preinstalled.
 +
 +
'''Note 2:''' After plugging in the USB 3G modem, it may take some time until NetworkManager is able to use the modem. Wait for at least half a minute, until you give up and report that the modem doesn't work.

| The successful Pandora E220 tests were done by DJWillis on an old kernel (long before Pandora shipped). It seems that they are NOT working any more.  Also tested on Linux (was it working?)  This entry originally said 250mA, but there is no source and current sources say 500mA.

The Pandora stock kernel may not come with all wireless driver support outside of the internal WiFi chip.  Sometimes, the only way you'll get wireless working is to build your own kernel with it included or try [http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download compat-wireless].

+
 
 +
As for hofix 6a4 compat-wireless seems to be present in the kernel out of the box, so one can build a USB wireless driver for Pandora following this [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5140-solvedbuilding-a-usb-wifi-driver/page__view__findpost__p__89280 algorithm]
 +
 
 +
As for [[hotfix 6]] Release Candidate the kernel includes drivers for these Realtek chips: RTL8712/8188/8191/8192SU/8192CU

| The Arduino PND failes to compile sketches for the Leonardo, but a pre-programmed board can still communicate with the Pandora. <br />The Leonardo makes an incorrect USB current request, but this can be reprogrammed if you want to use it on the OTG port - in Arduino's ''USBCore.h'', change ''USB_CONFIG_POWER_MA(500)'' to 100.

Latest revision as of 15:25, 14 March 2021

This is a list of USB devices that have been tested on the Pandora. If the device you want to know about isn't listed here, don't worry! Just go to the USB reference page, look up the specs of your device, and you may be able to figure out if it's compatible.

Troubleshooting

Each type of device will have its own unique way to troubleshoot.

But here are some general tips:

  • Is USB-Host enabled?
  • check lsusb
  • check dmesg

When asking for help on the forums support board, be sure to post both your lsusb and dmesg.

Because dmesg output is very long, you need to paste it within [spoiler] tags like this: 

 [spoiler]
 (paste your dmesg in here)
 [/spoiler]

An easy way to get your dmesg so you can easily copy and paste it, is: 

 dmesg|leafpad

leafpad will open with the output of dmesg.

If you have no networking on your palmtop, you can send the information to a text file like this: 

 cd (your storage card)
 dmesg>textfile.txt
 sync

Then you can remove your card (if no programs are using it or PNDs are running on it) and bring it to a card reader on your desktop.

Networking

Please see the Mobile Broadband page for tips on how to get these working, as well as this tutorial from the GP32X forum.

HSDPA (3G) Modems

Please note that many (if not all) USB 3G modems need modemmanager to be installed for switching from mass storage mode to serial communications mode. When first plugged in, most 3G USB modems claim to be a mass storage device and offer, on its built-in flash, drivers and connectivity software to be installed. Mostly this is only for Windows and Mac, so for the Pandora this is not useful. modemmanager instantly takes care of toggling the mode, so that when you plug in the modem, after a few seconds or maybe half a minute modemmanager has switched the modem to communications mode and NetworkManager is able to use it.

If you are using a Firmware before HF7 (or one of its Alpha/Beta versions) you have to install modemmanager. To do so, connect your Pandora to the Internet, open a terminal and, as a super user, intall it via opkg by entering the commands:

sudo opkg update
sudo opkg install modemmanager

Note: If you are using a firmware more recent than "Zaxxon" Hotfix 6 (starting with HF7) you do not have to follow the steps outlined above since modemmanager comes preinstalled.

Note 2: After plugging in the USB 3G modem, it may take some time until NetworkManager is able to use the modem. Wait for at least half a minute, until you give up and report that the modem doesn't work.

Device Driver Connector Supported standard Current draw Suggested connection to Pandora Works on Pandora Additional comments
ZTE K3565-Z / MF626 / MF627 / MF636 Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 Unknown Standard-A port Yes [1] [2] A how-to by shideneyu for this modem can be found here
BandLuxe C270 Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 Unknown Standard-A port Yes A how-to by relliker for this modem can be found here
Huawei E156G Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 Unknown Standard-A port Yes [3]
Huawei E160 Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 250mA Standard-A port Yes As the entry for Huawei E220 was wrong, this Current draw could also be wrong. This one definitely needs modemmanager. After installing modemmanager, it works flawlessly.
Huawei E160E Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 250mA Standard-A port Yes As the entry for Huawei E220 was wrong, this Current draw could also be wrong.
Huawei E1750 Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 Unknown Standard-A port Yes [4]
Huawei E220 Not required Standard-A USB 1.1 500mA Standard-A port via High Speed hub Not on new kernels. The successful Pandora E220 tests were done by DJWillis on an old kernel (long before Pandora shipped). It seems that they are NOT working any more. Also tested on Linux (was it working?) This entry originally said 250mA, but there is no source and current sources say 500mA.
Huawei E3531 Not required Standard-A USB 2.0 Unknown Standard-A port Yes Need recent USB_ModeSwitch compiled and installed, see (http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/); then type "usb_modeswitch -W -I -v 12d1 -p 15ca -M 55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000" to switch to modem mode (lsusb should change from 12d1:15ca to 12d1:1506). Enable automatic modem switch: sudo nano /etc/modutils/mobilestickserial and enter "usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x15ca", sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/999-mobilestick.rules and enter "SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="15ca", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -W -I -v 12d1 -p 15ca -M 55534243123456780000000000000011062000000101000100000000000000"", off course checking usb_modeswitch path, in this case /usr/sbin
4G-Systems XS Stick P14 Not required (usbserial module) standard-A USB 2.0 Unknown Standard-A port Yes [5] Requires usbmodeswitch program.
iPhone 3GS (Probably also 1G/3G) ipheth Standard-A USB 2.0 500mA USB A (Standard-A port?) Should work in Angstrom with some work. Requires a good bit of dependencies to get working. Tested with Debian from SD, but should work in Angstrom with some work. The ipheth wwan0 device only provides a connection over the 3G modem, even if you're connected to a wifi network.

USB WiFi adapters

The Pandora stock kernel may not come with all wireless driver support outside of the internal WiFi chip. Sometimes, the only way you'll get wireless working is to build your own kernel with it included or try compat-wireless.

As for hofix 6a4 compat-wireless seems to be present in the kernel out of the box, so one can build a USB wireless driver for Pandora following this algorithm

As for hotfix 6 Release Candidate the kernel includes drivers for these Realtek chips: RTL8712/8188/8191/8192SU/8192CU
