Title: More info about USB ports in Eddy-CPU 2.5
Post by: krasimir.k on June 30, 2011, 06:54:50 PM
Hi,
Can somebody have answers for following questions (I can not find answer in documentation) :
Which USB port (host or device) can be used to connect with a flash drive?
Which USB port can be used for USB recovery?
I'm asking this because according DK schematics USB device port does not have Vdd on pin 1 and I'm wondering what is purpose of USB device port if there is not Vdd.

Flash drives can only be connected to host ports.

USB recovery can only work with device port. Eddy is a device to be connected to the PC host port then.

Vdd on devices is only suitable, if the device is bus powered. Eddy DK is self powered, so this pin is not connected.

best regards
