iPhone/iPad charging (ReadyNAS Duo/NV+ v2)

If you want to charge with the ReadyNAS (tested on NV+ v2) you’ll have to install the code from here: https://github.com/mkorenkov/ipad_charge/

First off, you need to have installed EnableRootSSH and to have logged in via SSH. Then type:

sudo apt-get install make gcc git libusb-1.0-0-dev

mkdir workspace

cd workspace

git clone https://github.com/mkorenkov/ipad_charge/

cd ipad_charge

make

make install


And the next time you plug your iPad/iPhone into a USB socket on your ReadyNAS, it’ll start charging!

I wonder if this could be packaged up? it'd be a really useful add-on.

  • Interesting software. I could see the need on the iPad, where it draws more current than many USB ports put out by default.

    I already charge my iPhone daily off a ReadyNAS, without any software needed. If I have photo backup enabled (USB Storage tab), I believe it also tries to copy my Camera Roll off also.
