Obviously USB slave mode is the default, but it's a matter of a single command to make it switch to host mode (until the next reboot). I created a script that runs every reboot to switch it into host mode, as it's easier to edit the script on the fly than reflash when I need slave mode. As I believe has been mentioned elsewhere, you run the command "echo host >/sys/devices/platform/tahvo-usb/otg_mode" (as root) in the terminal or a shell script to switch to host mode. Maybe it will make it into the BT keyboard plugin someday, since everything else seems to be relocating there :-) Larry
