Needed help with USB OTG get to working
Welcome
So here is my question, is it possible to use the kobo nia as a usb host? just like it was made here. I tryied the same thing, but with no success. Here are the dmesg logs: Spoiler:
They are cutted out and connected together for the most important part, but the point is it registers new usb devices, begins with 0 and goes infinite. I also measured the power consumption of the keyboard, it was raising to 50 mA and then back to 2 mA ( i was using an external power supply, yes the ground was connected together ) all the time. Also, there were only those logs with only one keyboard, using the oryginal or a other OTG cable. I tryied recompiling the kernel, adding drivers, nothing worked. If someone is curious I also posted the same question on Kobolabs github Any links, directions where to look are appreciated and welcome ![]() |

Hi! Did you manage to figure this out yet? I'm trying to connect my Nia too. I saw on GitHub that you mentioned it needs power, but is that the solution or are there still more issues?

Probably: https://github.com/Szybet/niAudio
Szybet contributes a lot to InkBox OS, and we will probably integrate audio support for some devices that can support it soon. |

Sorry @badrihippo for not answering! i hate this forum, the look of it
It needs to be charged to make usb host work. there are some options using I2C to make it charg less, or even supply its own power ( experimental? ). If you want, continue the conversation on Inkbox discord server or on niAudio github page |
