Thumbdrives

Thumbdrive and ISO emulator for phones Source

Description

Thumbdrives is a USB mass storage emulator for Linux handhelds. It uses the USB gadget configurations in the kernel to present a virtual USB CD drive or thumbdrive to the attached device. This makes it possible to install linux from the phone on the target device.

CD emulation above cdrom sizes is not supported by the kernel and those .iso files will be emulated as usb mass storage instead. Files ending in .img will always be emulated as usb mass storage and will be writable.
