I am trying to use a usb to RS232 cable (with FTDI chip) with the archos 80 G9. I have downloaded the FTDI example and istalled it on the archos but it does not recognize the FTDI chip.
there are 2 problem actually:
1) I want to use the 3G USB port of the archos to connect it to the usb to RS232 cable, right now i can not connect anything to the 3G usb port, not keyboard noy disk on key, what should i do in order to use the 3G USB port with regular devices and not the 3G stick?
2) Even if i connect the usb to RS232 cable to the micro usb (with cabe adapter) the archos doe snot recognize the the device. i should say that i can connect keyborad and disk on key that way. how can i make it recognize the usb to RS232 cable?
I prefeer using the 3G USB port of the archos but right now any solution will do, Thnaks,
You can use the regular size usb port on the back, but you have to use a usb hub with external power supply. I managed connecting several usb2serial ports without problems.
