All information is good information.. Don't restrict yourselves to exactly on-topic.
If/When I am successful in pulling this off, Assuming I'm not consumed by the abyss of life, I will make another thread with an OP summarizing all what we gathered and pics to streamline the process for everyone.
As of now, I'm gathering the guides linked from all-over to assemble what will be on the monitor to guide me as I make my attempt.. (1) enameled wire for the connections to be as small as possible.. (2) 0.1mm soldering tip because the ones I have are in bad shape. (3) disassembly guides and USB connection points to know where to solder.. and (4) USB breakout setup to not butcher the reader I have before actually getting it to work.
After I have a female usb2 socket wired to the logic board... we'll then take a shot at picking the software apart.
Another question though.. I'm not feeling particularly confident that the reader will enumerate when it's connected.. So, Does anyone know what drivers are baked into the stock kernel that will work without issue (as-is) to test the success of my soldering job and concept ?
i.e. mouse/pointing device, keyboard, Ethernet, USB hubs, WWAN
in other words, if the source is released..can anyone take a look at it to get the VIDs and HIDs of stuff because I do NOT have the required skills to sift through the kernel tree and find locate what I need or understand it... I can barely read code and cannot follow it to understand what it is trying to do.
Thanks,
Abdul
