Development: HTC-HD2 and Android phone - sort of

[Starson17]

The wife has an HTC HD2. It can be run as an Android, but it currently is run as a Windows Mobile Device. I'd like set it up as a supported device.
I've followed the basic development instructions and have calibredb spitting out "Hello World"

I've run calibre-debug -d and compared connected and not output. The following two lines are from the diff and seem to be the only ones that are relevant:

USB devices on system:
 u'usb\\vid_0bb4&pid_0ffd&rev_0000',
Drives detected:
         ('USBSTOR\\DISK&VEN_&PROD_&REV_\\3FBF5000-7351-0801-3541-200313755930&
', 2, u'D:\\')

D: is the drive letter for the device.

I've looked at the driver.py for Android and some other simple driver.py files. I can see that the first line above includes the HTC Vendor ID (0x0bb4) and the Product ID (0x0ffd) I can't figure out the BCD used in the simplest driver.py files for mass storage files.

I'd like to either modify another driver.py to match the HTC HD2 under Windows Mobile or add a new one for HD2. As far as possible, I'd like to roll up my sleeves and do this myself, but guidance would be appreciated.

The Android driver assumes the user will run a WordPlayer. I have several readers that I use under Windows Mobile, with a wide variety of supported formats, so I'd like to play around with the ordered preference lists, directory names, etc.

(BTW, I've tried to talk to the device as an Android, without success.)

So my question is: What is the BCD and what other info might I need to convert/add a simple driver.py for the HD2.

If this isn't the right spot to ask this, let me know. I've read the Customizing calibre section.

Thanks!

For completeness, in case the two lines above are not enough, here are the full outputs from calibre-debug -d:

The BCD for that device is 0 but there are some problems with it. The drive identification string has no VEN_ and PROD_ information, which is what is used to identify the drives in windows (compare it with the strings for your hard drive for instance).

I see. I take it that there's no way for Calibre to treat the device as a supported reader? I guess I'll just use have to keep using it as a save-to-disk device using the drive letter. Thanks for the reply.
