[ELDK] USB on Kilauea

[Dave Rensberger]

Wolfgang,

Do you remember if you had to do anything out of the ordinary to force
the OTG controller on the Kilauea to act as a host, rather than a
device, or was that automatically taken care of by the HNP protocol
and/or having the right cable?

Ah! You definitely do need the correct adapter. I don't have physical
access to the board at the moment, so I cannot check, but be  careful
-  there  are  4-pin  and  5-pin adapters, with internal pull-ups (or
-downs?) to switch the line drivers, and such trickery.

Best regards,
