[Sailfish X] Does it support USB OTG?

USB OTG works perfectly on the Xperia X with Sailfish X. With this device (https://www.inline-info.com/en/products/adapter-converter/otg-card-reader/9614/inline-otg-card-reader-and-hub-with-3x-usb-2.0-ports?number=66775) I had two usb memory sticks and one keyboard connected at the same time. USB sticks are not auto-mounted, so they need to be mounted manually.

I can confirm USB OTG working just fine (I've tried a micro-USB flash drive) & had to mount/unmount it manually.

It works indeed ! Do you think we can emulate a mouse ?

I miss the typical USB-Utils like lsusb, but other than that it seems to work.

Mouses do work from hw to input device level (e.g. mce tracks mouse devices and interprets double click as double tap = wakes up screen), it is just not useful/used as input source for ui.

No. Plus ten characters.

EDIT: tried with various file systems (NTFS, BTRFS, FAT, LUKS). Successful with FAT32 only.

EDIT again: (to be confirmed) apparently only with partitions <= 48 Gbytes.

Did someone try in CSD tool? In change log of 1.1.7 is mentioned:

csd - [usbotg] Add new test page to verify usb-otg functionality.

install my usbstick-utils package, and it should mount it under /media/usbstick/(lavel)/

not tested on actual xperia x (works on oneplus X)

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Do you had to install any additional packages to make it work (edit: so that you can use an USB keyboard)? My Xperia X running Lapuanjoki won't recognize my adapter (which works with android devices)...

Or is USB OTG that poorly standardized (e.g. like Bluetooth) so that it is very hard to implement correctly, i.e., it's just luck whether it works with your stuff?

usbstick-utils from openrepos: https://openrepos.net/content/ferlanero/usb-stick-utils-automount-exfat-support Otherwise you have to mount manually via terminal.

Sorry, I was too imprecise, obviously. I'm referring to using USB keyboards, not storage devices.

Not even the LED of my adapter lights up on Sailfish, so I suspect there's something missing on the software side of Sailfish which allows to correctly negotiate the OTG mode with my adapter.
