Hi there,
I have this device left over from a previous project, and now I want to repurpose it for a forked version of PiKVM that is meant for alternate SBC such as the OrangePi.
I spent the last 2 days adjusting various build settings and compiling.
After installing, the kvmd service would complain about the UDC driver missing. Also executing ls /sys/class/udc/ would return nothing, seemingly indicating that OTG is not possible.
Just last night I came across the file "sun50i-h6-orangepi-3-lts.dts" in which there is a comment containing the following:
/*
* This board doesn't have a controllable VBUS even though it
* does have an ID pin. Using it as anything but a USB host is
* unsafe.
*/
My question is if I either use an adaptor that disconnects the +5v ping, or tape over the +5v pin on the USB connector itself, I would be able to set dr_mode to otg and not risk damaging anything on either the pi itself or the server I plan to plug it into?
That is the config I was looking at, but I wanted to be sure that if I set dr_mode = "otg"; I would not risk damaging anything, as per the comment above it. I'd like to set it to this mode, not for powering the board with a different USB port, but rather for being able to use kbm emulation and/or USB passthrough.
