I have the same issue on Archos 70. The usb in host mode has no power. The light does not come on anymore on my USB stick, and nothing at all is recognised, that is until I connect it to a powered hub.

The problem occured while I was testing a DVB-T USB device while in Uruk 0.6. I was at the time connected to a powered hub, which was running overpowered for a very short while.

I am not sure a what stage it went. I was during the time testing to see if the unit could recognise more than one device at a time (the answer is yes) but did freeze the unit on more than one occasion.

I won't be returning it as I can still power the USB through a hub and they will probably tell me my warranty is void anyway!
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
but exactly that is my case (and the case of some others). client mode ok, host mode not ok. maybe the data lines are working, but definitly not working properly in host mode :(
[Gen8 General] kingkong07:
I am facing the same problem, when i use the A70 original power supply to the power USB hub, my USB stick is working perfectly in host mode, however, when i change the power supply to a external power bank, my usb stick just can run in the client mode.
[Gen8 General] p0rk burn:
"However, there seems to be a fairly high USB host port failure rate on the 8 GB boards (A101IT-V6)--that was one of the hardware issues that developed with my first unit. My 16 GB is sporting an A101IT-V5 board."

Ignore the part about the 8 gb because I think I've seen more - or at least just as many - complaints about this issue with the 16 gb. But is there anything to the V5 vs V6 board and USB host failures? Maybe a quick survey of people with these problems can at least rule out (or pinpoint) a possible issue here.
[Gen8 General] vertig0730:
I have a V6 board, I have a RMA so I will be sending it in, I hope for a V8 (maybe I will get more power)

[Gen8 General] donn123:
I find this whole discussion interesting - I was under the impression hat the host port on OMAP devices was able to run a mouse and keyboard but not much else. so I decided to review the system reference manual from my Beagleboard rev C4. It says:

The Rev C4 Beagle is equipped with a USB Host only connector and can be used to

support USB based devices. In order to connect multiple devices a Hub is required. The

hub can be powered or un-powered if the total current on the devices connected to the

hub do not exceed the available power from the DC power supply that is used. If the

board is powered from the OTG connector, then the power available from this port is

extremely limited and will not be able to provide sufficient power to run most USB

devices. It may be possible to run a USB keyboard or mouse, but that is about all it will

have the power to supply.

Snipped from http://beagleboard.org/static/BBSRM_latest.pdf, Page 29

So here the question - do these devices work when using a power USB hub? If so then the answer is clear, the Host Port has extremely limited power. If not then the presumption that there may be a hardware fault is probably correct.

One more thought has crossed my mind. If power on the Host Port is in fact limited it may be fused, draw too much power and the fuse blows to protect the device. This could also explain the it used to work but doesn't anymore scenarios.

And lastly I was wondering if Archos published an HCL for these tablets - I could not find one. However I did come across an interesting asterisks in the ARCHOS ENGLISH USER MANUAL (http://www.archos.com/manuals/A70_EN_v1.1.htm#usb_host_cable)

* Some standard USB devices may not function if they consume too much power.

So - based on some quick research and not actual testing - it looks to me as though one needs a powered USB hub for most of the interesting USB devices one may want to connect to an internet tablet.

Hello,

I can only say, in my 43, I have tested successfully one usb stick and one external 2,5" hardrive without any external power. On the other side, my usb-card reader doesn't works. Probably not in the kernel.The test was with stock kernel and with Uruk-0.6. The Usb-card reader works ok in my linux desktop.

The power is not so small if he can power up one HDD or?

Ferenc.

PD: I have the board V5.
[Gen8 General] pgb54:
This has been my experience with the USB failure on my A101IT and how I got it working again.

My Archos is an A101IT 16G with V6 board

I have been running firmware version 2.1.8 for over two weeks.

I have been upgrading to all the firmware releases as soon as they came out.

My USB port was working fine until two days ago.

I received a new Azio KB351RT wireless keyboard for my HTPC and decided to try it out on the A101. The charger was plugged into the A101 at the time. I plugged in the dongle and the keyboard worked instantly. After working with it for awhile I left it for the night and it went to sleep.

The next morning, I packed everything up to take to work with me. I unplugged the power and then the USB dongle. At work, I powered up the A101, plugged in the dongle and the keyboard did not work. Troubleshooting showed me that the USB port was dead. It would not recognize anything. I tried memory sticks, powered USB drives, keyboards but nothing worked.

Today, I rebooted the A101 into recovery mode as shown in the manual. I selected "Repair System" and then "Check Disk" It ran through the Integrity Check and then I told it to reboot. Once it rebooted the USB port worked. I tried a memory stick (told it to turn off external drive before unplugging it!) and then I tried the keyboard dongle. The keyboard now works again. As a precaution I turned off the A101 before unplugging the dongle!

This will probably not solve most of the port failures but even if some people can get theirs working again without doing an RMA...:)
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
At least for me this had no effect. USB still not working :(
[Gen8 General] dkelley:
I just wanted to mention that my 101 host port is unreliable with a usb keyboard.

more often than not it doesn't do anything when I plug in a keyboard (currently my only desired use of the port as I use my tablet for office work in meetings).

but once in a while it just works. you can tell before even trying to enter text by seeing if the shift lock key lights up when pressed on the keyboard.

last time I got it to work by shutting down my 101 completely and then starting it up again with the keyboard already plugged in.

however I don't think this is a reliable way to ensure it works and it may have simply been the moment that it decided to work.

it's probably got about a 1 in 5 success rate so it's fortunate the restarting this thing is a quick process.

This problem is identical in both stock archos fw (latest revision of froyo as of march 2011) and in urukdroid 0.7 (by far my preferred firmware).
[Gen8 General] mr-mac:
A101IT 16GB (rev V6)

USB host now dead (worked before for all sorts of devices).

Beginning to wish I went with something else now.

Grrrrr :(
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
@mr-mac RMA it and make sure you get a v5 and you should be fine.
[Gen8 General] mr-mac:
I never want to deal with such an arrogant an unpleasant customer services department again. Apparently it's not a common problem. when one person has to return 3 units it's not very rare either (maybe it feels not so common as the class it across all units but take 101's then take those who use the usb then those with v6 and i bet it is high enough to notice).

anyway rma raised. if it happens again I am returning unit for refund.

I would have considered another archos product (once it's released and initial problems come to light) but after that experience I will never ever buy archos again.

Well done archos you have alienated another customer

John
[Gen8 General] mr-mac:
Well how to really piss your customers off.

On the very last day of the 2 weeks turnarround (even though archos repair tracking still shows it that item recived and no other updates) I get an email saying sorry we have no 16gb 101's to send you. The delivery has been delayed. We expect it the 1st week of May so you should get your device then.

So I will be without my tablet for at least 1 month. What really gets my back up most is Archos UK's Shop is still showing the Archos 101 16GB as in stock to purchase.

Does it not feel like archos are saying we are not intrested once we have your money. We do not care about fullfilling our commitments. But we will sell the same tablet we can't send you to a new customer.

I have never had any company 1st of all quote a 2 week turnarround (all other I have dealt with seem to manage 2days to 5 days or there abouts). And even then they can't manage to do it in 2 weeks (in my case at least 4 weeks). Great so I paid for a device and won't be able to use it for a month (maybe more).

I hope to god nobody else is in this possition as it's just getting to be a joke of epic proportions.

Do Archos actually run training courses on how to alienate and annoy customers, I am sure they do as they seem to be extremly talented in this area.

Well guess what. This is now another customer who will without any doubt now who will never ever recommend or buy another Archos product again (they will run out of customers one day). If USB fails a 2nd time (when I eventaully get my replacement) then it is going straight back to the retailer for a refund there is no way I am RMA'ing another.

Hope everyone else if fairing better with their tablet (but I know from the sheer number of posts there are a lot of others who have given up as well). Would rather I was a one off and everyone else was having a good experience.

John
[Gen8 General] mr-mac:
Well.... In the UK. Archos have just posted my replacement tablet. It should arrive Monday. That is 2 days short of a whole month since my tablet was confirmed to have arrived.

I simply do not understand Archos quoting a 2 week turnaround when they seem to break it whenever they Absaloutly Abismal way of treating a customer.

Never Again.

If I had recived a sincere apology for their failing (and they posted it 2 days ago like they promised on the phone). Or been offered something for them not meeting their promise to me then they could still have rectified the situation and save a customer.

Job is well and truely done I am never going to be an Archos customer again.

Sorry for going on but I am totally pissed off by way I have been treated.

[Gen8 General] mr-mac:
Got new unit. Its a rev5 (brand new from china) so they have stopped makiny rev6.

It weighs loads more than my last unit. However not a single creak from case and unitis a lot less bendy.

Screen is not the same. Much wider viewing angle and looks best straight on. Works fine in portrait mode now (shame its now too heavy to use in portrait). It is a lot heavier and is now a lot less nice to hold even in landscape. Shame really as my light v6 unit was a lot nicer to hold.

I am on rooted 1.1 v2 and everything works great. The only thing missing is the in store reading free books for an hour a day. I was wondering if I could boot stock BN image on sd card when I am in the BN store, so I could get the in store feature?

I have been reading a lot and many people with 1.1 v2 cannot get access to the free one hour reading. I am a newbie, so alot of android dev forum is a little over my head.

If anyone knows of another way to get in store reading, I would appreciate the help.

[Nook Color General] Ophbalance:
I believe it was tried previously, but there's things in the stock ROM that have hard coded reference points to parts of the system (if memory serves). The person trying to do this early on gave up for that reason. I could be wrong, but I think this was in mid December.
[Nook Color General] Neptune5k:
I was getting ready to ask this question when I found your thread. I really hope something like this does pop up in the Dev section - I'll use my nook daily with a custom froyo rom, but it would be nice to be able to use the stock image off a SD when I stop into a B&N.

[Nook Color General] bousquet:
I tried these instructions and it boots to the initial setup screen. I can see broadcasting AP's, but unfortunately I can't get it to connect any WiFi hotspot.

It appears to associate, sits at obtaining IP, but eventually gives up.

ADB connects and I was able to look at dmesg, but nothing stands out.

I went back to the eMMC and registered, exported /data, imported it to the SD card, and was able to bypass registration. However, it still doesn't connect to WiFi.

Only point that is probably worth noting is that I used a 2GB SDCard and here's what my mount output looks like:

Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
Success

I could follow the instruction and made a 8gb stock bootable micro sd card. Only problem I can see is it mounts the boot partition of sd card as "/sdcard" and creates few folders like "B&N Downloads", "My Files". Is there any way to disable the sd card mount.

If anyone is interested in getting a copy of the sd card I can upload. :)
[Nook Color General] KidJoe:
I'm interested in it, or at least a "dummies guide" to doing this via a Windows PC..

I mean, as I read samuelhalff's post, it looks like it should be relatively easy to follow, but I have a few questions...

I see things like creating the partitions on the SD using gparted (which appears to be a linux command) so I don't know if I can maybe use EASEUS in Windows do do it? And am I reading it correctly, that TAR is a command I can run from inside an ADB SHELL? (i.e. type ADB Shell, then TAR)
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
I'll upload it tonight and post the link.
[Nook Color General] KidJoe:
only reason that might not be a good idea is copyrights... not sure what if any might make it against the rules here, or something B&N would frown upon... then again, I guess its no worse than the .ZIP image in the recovery threads?

In any case, Thank you!!! I do appreciate it!
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
I eagerly await this...and thank you for the work. I would use this as a dual-boot SD card with my daily-use ROM installed to internal memory. There are fairly easy-to-follow directions here on xda that will allow us to dual boot your SD card and internal memory. If you choose to boot from internal memory, then the SD card just becomes your external storage. No SD card swapping needed to go between your daily OS and the B&N stock. Very cool.

Thanks again.

You're welcome..

[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
As I mentioned above, this would be great for dual-booting from eemc and sd card. I messed around with this a bit this evening and got it working nicely with one of the old Honeycomb images. The instructions for setting up dual boot are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947698&highlight=dual+boot

I did have to mess around with the SD card a bit as once you boot from the internal memory, it is the first partition of the SD card that is used as your SD storage. Most SD card images have this as a very small boot partition with the fourth partition the larger SD card partition. I used a free program called Parted Magic to move the second, third, and fourth partitions over and expand the first partition into the unused space, creating a 5GB boot partition. I then put the multi-boot files from the thread above into the large boot partition. Worked like a charm - when booting from the SD card, Honeycomb used the fourth partition as the SD card storage space. When booting from internal memory, CM7 (the ROM I have installed to internal memory) used the 5GB boot partition as the SD card storage space.

Eageraly awaiting someone to build this and post an image file. I will admit that I am not smart enough to carry out the lengthly and excellence directions posted by samuelhalff.
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
Here is the link for the image. You will need a 8 GB or higher SD card.

Sorry for the large file. It has all partitions with stock data except data, cache and media.

Post your results / issues.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
To avoid having /sdcard mounted on boot, you need to edit /system/vold.conf :

volume_sdcard {
## This is the direct uevent device path to the SD slot on the device
media_path /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0
partition 8
media_type mmc
##mount_point /sdcard
mount_point /media
ums_path /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0
}

volume_sdcard2 {
## Currently points to internal eMMC, assumes eMMC is formatted as FAT32
media_path /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
media_type mmc
##mount_point /media
mount_point /sdcard
ums_path /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun1
}

Add "partition 8" in the sdcard section.

Explanation: see, media is set to partition 8 of internal. That's right. But here, sdcard will mount automatically the first sdcard partition (boot), as partition isn't set. You need to manually set it mount partition 8 (sdcard)..

Sam
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
When I am booting the stock from SD card I want it to mount partition 8 of SD card in "/media". So in "volume_sdcard" section I should change "mmc_host/mmc0" to "mmc_host/mmc1" and "usb_mass_storage/lun0" to "usb_mass_storage/lun1"

And I do not want to mount anything in "/sdcard" so I should comment out "mount_point /sdcard" in "volume_sdcard2" section.

Is this correct? I will try it out later. And thanks for your tip.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Should work.

Lun0, lun1, same thing.. just make sure each mounted partition isnt using the same one..

Are you sure you have 8 partitions on your SD?
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
mmcblk1p1 to mmcblk1p8. 1p4 is not a real partition, So there are total 7 partitions. Its exactly same as the map NC has in their eMMC.
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
I'm very sorry, I must admit I'm mixing up threads..

Your absolutely right.. you must set sdcard to mmcblk1p8. You can still leave media to mount on mmcblk0p8 to access internal media..
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
Any idea what will happen when B&N rolls out a firmware update? Will it play nice and install to the SD, or is there something that will make it attempt to write parts of itself into the internal memory?
[Nook Color General] pbcal:
Not very sure about it. Since we have ADB enabled I'll not worry about it too much. In worst case you have to take a new image and in install in SD card.
