TE0703: USB as OTG/Function?

Hi all,
the TE0703  carrier board has a USB Type-A plugin, which is the default for a host interface. Can it be used as a function device (via OTG) by connecting it via one of these rare Type-A to Type-A cables e.g. to a PC? Or is this not possible?

Many thanks and best regards,
Frank

Hello,

you can use this board as "USB device". As there is USB-A plug, type of connection can't be detected. So you need another configuration for this type of connection.
You need to enable USB gadgets drivers and change device tree for "peripheral" type of interface

Hi,
thanks for the quick answer. The software side is clear, the question was more whether this will not damage the hardware (regarding bus power).

Best regards,
