android accessory with Full Speed USB Host

Post by vinithmundhra »

Hi all,
This new project implements the Android Accessory Protocol and uses the Full Speed USB Host* component. The project currently works on the Google Nexus S phone.

Project location: https://github.com/xcore/sc_android_aap

* Please note that the USB component is currently validated for the Google Nexus S phone, some memory sticks and Apple devices.

Have fun!
:D

So this is basically XMOS' alternative to android ioio or is it something completely different?

The USB driver @ the android developer website is for building phone applications. Yes, the phone app requires this.
This project is an accessory that connects to the Android phone as a USB host.

Oh awesome.

If anyone on XCore is interested in this: I'm well versed in android dev so I could help work on a project if you need it!
