Preamble
This mod is based on Alberts mods Albert's Bluetooth mod and Albert's SD/MMC mod
Niv follows the instructions for making bluetooth and mmc
Q: I saw this photo and recognized a sd/mmc slot inside ... which sort auf adapter / socket do you use?A:
A: I used this reader: Bonzai you need to I removed the one chip it has and the usb metal connector. then used the on-board 5V->3.3 converter I also noticed that some readers had a lengthier board (usb connector to the card socket , wise). this one has one that fits fine.
Q: is it possible to switch the bt module on / off per software (using an unused bit of the port)? What about using a hardware switch?
A: no. using the adapter ,albertr suggested, one may only reset the unit. but one may hold the reset line , thus effectively turning the unit off.
I have yet to see any of this work as there is no current open embedded version , that can fit the simpad. why? because OE migrated to 2.6. there is currently no driver for the simpad screen driver that works under 2.6. and so , I am unable to add the code provided in the site and test bluetooth , or/and mmc.
