I'm sure it's *possible* to make the neo behave like a mass storage device, and I would love to have<br>
software that does it so I can have some kind of communication with Windows machines that I don't<br>
have permission to install drivers & internet bridges on. As far as I know that software doesn't exist today.<br>

<br>
Two ways to accomplish this:<br>
<br>
1. use gadget_storage on the neo/freerunner<br>
2. use usb-networking + samba on the neo/freerunner<br>
<br>
My vote goes for option #2, since this also allows us to continue to support ssh'ing to the phone, etc.<br>

PC and setting up a network bridge on the Windows PC. These are things I'm often unable to do. (E.g.<br>at work, or especially on someone else's machine at work.)<br><br>Bluetooth is nice, but it's also true that many PCs don't have bluetooth. To me, the ideal solution would<br>
be to have an app on the neo that makes it pretend to be a mass storage device over USB, so standard<br>USB connectors on almost any USB host (Mac, Windows PC, Linux PC, maybe some cameras, etc.)<br>would recognize the neo as a source and destination for files. We should be able to configure which<br>
directories are exposed through the USB mass storage interface, and also perhaps configure how<br>much storage is reserved (so you don't fill up your rootfs).<br><br>Does such a USB mass storage interface simulation program exist out there as open source<br>
somewhere, waiting to be ported?<br><br>Bobby<br><br>-- <br>If it doesn't make you smile, you're doing something wrong.
