Just depends how much your adapter can deliver. Probably 500mA is ok (even though not all adapters are made for 500mA, I have some chargers rated for 350mA). 1A is quite a lot. Might be ok, but first make sure that the specifications of your charger are ok for 1A output. (note that none of the few car chargers I have are rated for as much as 1A output, but most of them are old phones chargers...) I do force 500mA with an adapter I got from an older phone. I don't have the exact specs of the charger, but it works ok. to do that (with latest kernels) : echo 500 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-mbc/usb_curlim _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
