Device usageEdit

The USB Host port, connected to the USB2_OTG i.MX93x port, can be used under Linux for connecting USB peripheral devices: the related peripheral driver has to be integrated into the Linux kernel.

The USB OTG port, connected to the USB1_OTG i.MX93x port, can be easily tested using the Mass Storage Gadget driver.
