Device usage[edit | edit source]
The USB ports can be used under Linux for connecting USB devices: the related device driver has to be integrated into the Linux kernel.
To connect USB devices to J3 an USB-C HUB has to be used for power the Evaluation Kit while transferring USB data. Please check that the chosen HUB is qualified for the Power Delivery protocol.
