USB-host (USB-OTG)

Post by Vitasam »

Just found this external module for TI calculators.

As far as I know stm32 of DM42 can support USB-OTG. In theory, is it possible to create, e.g. USB-UART profile or something similar?

I don't think the DM42 would be capable of powering any device connected to the USB port even if the chip can support OTG/Host mode. After all, it only has a crummy little CR2032 as its power source.

How about a powered hub?

I think that would work. At least the OTG is working towards my Android tab and phone.

Yes, I was thinking about powered USB hub. So, basically it is the only matter of DM42 FW, HW is capable, right?

The STM32 chip supports OTG. I don't think the DM42 is wired up to support it. Amongst other things, it would need a high speed crystal (4-48 MHz).
