Hi,

I'd like to bump this once more to show that there is still interest in connecting a USB wired keyboard to a Boox.
Personally I'm interested in using a Boox M96 as a mobile ssh client/Terminal for remote operations e.g. in direct sunlight.

Unfortunately though I've not been able to get my USB keyboard working with the Boox.

Here is my setup:
- Onyx Boox M96 from ereader-store.de
- stable 1.7.4 firmware from booxtor
- Mini-USB OTG adapter
- Generic USB keyboard
- External Keyboard Helper App free demo version

There is no sign that the Boox detects the keyboard. I also tried to connect a USB memory stick to see if that works but that doesn't work either. It makes me believe that the kernel was compiled without OTG support. Does somebody know where I can find the source code of the Kernel used by the Boox M96 so I can compile it with OTG support myself?
