Hi,
I'm wanting to download data from other devices (i.e. Camera) connected to and iPad via http://store.apple.com/sg/product/MC531ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE adapter and was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of if this is possible and an appropriate section of the SDK to dig into.
From looking at the pin outs of the iPad docking connector it has Firewire not usb so I can only presume that this aforementioned adapter in the link contains the appropriate transceivers to allow you to connect USB devices.
I did some searching for accessing the Firewire port via Marmalade, but couldn't find anything so I can only presume I'm not looking for the right thing or I can't access that resource.
Any advice would be appreciated =).
Paul.
Looking at the iOS Developer library is seems that access to these types of devices is via the 'External Accessory Framework' so I assume what I'm after is some type of wrapper to access the external accessory framework.
Hi! Marmalade tries to wrap features common across platforms while implementing platform-specific APIs as extensions and I don't think there is one for accessories.
However you can create an extension that calls into whichever native iOS APIs you like using the Extension Development Kit (EDK). Reading the "Marmalade (C++) > Extensions Development Kit (EDK) > EDK Overview" section of the documentation should get you started.
