I can't answer about HID, but we don't support a mouse. If you do have a mouse device, I suspect it will think it is a trackball (for controlling the UI like a 5-way nav).

Hi All-

I have a PXA255-based hardware platform from Compulab, and I'm thinking about trying to run Android on it. It's a little shy on I/O though - no keybaord, no touchscreen interface. There is some GPIO that I could probably lash into a directional keypad, but it would be much nicer just to plug a HID mouse and keyboard into the USB ports.

This may seem like a silly question: Will Android's UI work with HID via USB?

Thanks,
