Oops! Well, we were still talking about USB, so maybe only slightly off topic there?
Point taken though... it is more about the output limitations, rather than the input devices! Especially how the AXP803 reacts to loads on the USB. On another board I have, it clamps the output to 500ma, and from the clicking sounds I would occasionally hear when the usb HDD was plugged in and running the file scan, I suspect this chip is configured to have the same limits. Hopefully we can access the AXP803 chip over the i2c like the other board, and configure parameters such as this...
