[SailfishDevel] No QSerialPort

[Erik Ridderby]

Can a device be configured both for MTP and USB OTG?

I guess that USB OTG seems to have difficulties on Windows for some android
devices (i.e. the one I have tested) as Windows does not support ext2/3, nor
does it support BTRFS. I guess  MTP is likely needed for windows users. It also
seems like MTP is becoming standard for at least android phones nowadays.

I tried connect my Jolla to a Windows computer and could transfer files to and
from it. On my Linux Jolla shows up as a strange device, more like a camera. I
manage using rsync for now - works fine as I am totally Linux at home :)
