Cabling and Compatible USB devices

We have enabled quite a few USB drivers in the kernel config for the Overo series The following list of devices is known to work, but it is by no means complete. Please let us know if you are successful with other devices and we will add them to the list.

USB Cables

To use the USB OTG port of an expansion board of the Overo series in host mode, you need to use the USB Mini-A to USB Mini-B adaptor cable for connecting to a USB hub.
