connecting android mobile via usb to tiny core

[manit123]

hi
my mobile supports mtp & ptp
so , I installed libmtp.tcz then ran mtp-detect
I got following output

Device 0 (VID=22b8 and PID=2e82) is UNKNOWN.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team

Also see attached file.

BTW the commands starting with mtp are

mtp-albumart      mtp-delfile       mtp-files         mtp-getfile       mtp-newfolder     mtp-reset         mtp-thumb
mtp-albums        mtp-detect        mtp-folders       mtp-getplaylist   mtp-newplaylist   mtp-sendfile      mtp-tracks
mtp-connect       mtp-emptyfolders  mtp-format        mtp-hotplug       mtp-playlists     mtp-sendtr        mtp-trexist


How to mount  mtpfs and read/write on it ?   

[Juanito]

I guess you're using libmtp from tc-4.x, which is quite old - you might be better off compiling the latest version and trying with that?

[manit123]

ok , mine is 4.7.7 . Say I upgrade to 6.3 .
Still , do  i have to  ./configure , make and make-install on extracted libmtp tarball ?  No simpler way ?
Also , I was asking about absence of mtpfs command in my previous post ?
 

[Juanito]

Yes, if you upgraded to tc-6.x you would have to compile libmtp, but it shouldn't be difficult and perhaps the latest version has mtpfs in it.

Besides, think of the service you'd be doing for the tinycorelinux community by submitting an updated libmtp extension 

Edit: the mtpfs source is here: http://www.adebenham.com/mtpfs/

[manit123]

ok
i am using 6.3
downloaded libmtp-1.1.9.tar.gz from  http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmtp/files/latest/download

[manit123]

./configure in libmtp-1.1.9 said

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

so i did
$ tce-load -wi gcc.tcz
gcc.tcz.dep OK
gcc_libs-dev.tcz.dep OK

wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
gcc_libs.tcz: FAILED

Now , what should I do ?
(BTW i have selected fastest mirror after
tc@box:/tmp/tce/optional$ tce-load -wi gcc.tcz
gcc.tcz.dep OK
gcc_libs-dev.tcz.dep OK
cloog.tcz.dep OK

Hi,
Load the  compiletc.tcz  extension.

[Juanito]

It also looks like you may be using the same /tce folder as you used in tc-4.x for tc-6.x - if this is the case, you need to update all your extensions using the apps gui.

[manit123]

finally I booted from tiny core 6.3
installed compiletc,libusb,libusb-dev

Now what should I do ?


Searched a bit .
http://askubuntu.com/questions/178364/i-am-trying-to-build-libmtp-1-1-14-but-i-cannot-fix-this-error tells about gettext and libiconv .
installed gettext and gettext-dev . no effect .
libiconv not available .(http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,17689.msg106251.html#msg106251)

[curaga]

One of those is a fault in libmtp source code (missing include for the iconv functions), the other may be as well. ptp.h comes from libptp2, which may be a part of libmtp now, I don't know.

My topic is similar: TC64 USB tethered to Android[mobile].

==> So it looks as if the connection would be by Ethernet ?.
Previously I was able to able to copy files between a PC & a rPi,

Can the USB-cable and the rndis_host, cdc_ether, usbnet also
 communicate: linuxPC <-> AndroidTablet ?

To connect to a remote machine, you just need to chdir into a special directory
which name is in the following format:
sh://[user@]machine[:options]/[remote-dir] .......
eg: sh://joe@want.compression.edu:C/private

So what's the latest on file transfer between TC64 & AndroidMobile ?

In my experience simple-mtpfs is what it says it is. I've built an extension for 64-bit, I tested it with my Moto X in a VM and it works, so I'll upload it shortly.
