IMPORTANT! READ TO THE VERY END FIRST!

Last time I tried to do this, my usb port in the nook fried! You've been warned!

All keyboards should be supported. (the keymap in CM7 is a bit strange, though, you'll see it).

All mice should be supported too, though I have not tried.

I enabled Xbox and PS3 controllers support, but have not tried.

Usb camera support - I only enabled UVC-compliant cameras (Microsoft Live cameras are compliant for example, probably many others). You also need specially built nigthtly with videocam support (try Camera app).

USB storage - generic support enabled, so should work for you.

Serial port support - only generic support enabled (I guess GPS devices mostly work as serial ports)

USB audio support enabled - not sure if the Android has any idea how to support it.

USB support and usb audio support were recently picked up by mainstream, so starting from nightly 135 you get all of the below (except for the webcam support). I am leaving the old information for history preservation purposes. The usb mode utility is replaced byOk, so I know some people want to try the usbhost mode and I am releasing this trial package to gather feedback and see how it works in the wild.I am not responsible if you fry your nook (see below).First, you need some hardware, namely microUSB to USB Female adapter. Something like this one . (There are cheaper ones on ebay, but delivery time is about 3 weeks, I got mine for $1.43).Also an USB gender changer will work.Then you need a kernel with usbhost enabled. I made a package that you can install onto emmc with CWM, or the same package could be installed on SD card if you use my installer . This package is only for CM7 users that already converted to .32 kernel. If you still run 2.6.29 kernel (ie CM7.0.3) - you need to upgrade to a fresh nightly like -87 or wait longer.You can get the kernel here: http://nook.handhelds.ru/usbhost/upd...ost-2-emmc.zip As you probably know, the Nook Color comes a little bit crippled in a sense that id pin on the OTG controller is not connected and so we cannot rely on it to properly choose mode. Instead I wrote an app to achieve the switching.The app is ugly as hell, sorry, it's my first attempt at writing an Android app, bear with me, it would become better (I accept free Android programming lessons too!).You can get the app here: http://nook.handhelds.ru/usbhost/Noo...stSwitcher.apk The app requires root, so make sure to allow it once asked and make it to remember the setting.Install the kernel, install the app.Reboot into the new kernel.Run the app and you'll see a big "ToggleButton". When it's in Off mode, that means your nook is in usb client mode.When you press it for the first time it will change to On, that means usb host.(you can connect your external accessory before or after you enable the host mode).When you press it again, it will change to Off and switch back to the client mode.(note that in some configurations the host mode enabling did not work for me on the first try and I needed to turn it off and on several times before the device registered. I believe there is no such problem with this kernel, but keep in mind such a possibility)A second button is now added that lets you to force "external" vbus source. When you make it to, the battery charger pump is opened and connected to vbus terminals. In this state it is safe to connect nook to a power source, usb host will work and the battery should be charging at the same time.Even without external power if your battery has high enough voltage (usually when it's full for me), it still somewhat works.Additionally if you try to enable HostMode and an external power source is connected already, the "external" power mode is enabled (not shown in the app, though). This is to avert a potential disaster from below and to save battery.When the Nook is in host mode, it drives 5V vbus off the connector at all times. If you connect the nook to a PC in this state, the PC will try to drive it's own vbus.But that was before I had the host mode working and it might have been caused by a number of other things I was doing at the time too. Anyway I am not very keen on repeating this experiment again. If you are curious and decide to try it anyway regardless of the warning, make a comment and tell me what happenedSupported devices (this is important, right?)Note that only low power devices will work if you don't have an externally powered hub. Don't expect to be able to drive a cdrom or a hard drive out of just nook. 100mA is the current limit. (Current testing shows that if you use ISB hub, even unpowered, it hides this issue).The kernel is basically normal dalingrin's kernel with USB host support enabled and ipv6 disabled (to keep kernel size below 3M threshold).Kernel source (for the curious and if you want to build your own kernel with some mode devices support): git://github.com/dalingrin/nook_kernel.gitEnjoy and share your experience.
