USB Hub Not Working?

Unread post by kupoRGB »

Hey guys,

Trying to use a USB hub through the USB mini port on the De-10 nano. I am getting power to all of my devices apparently, but they are not working with MiSTer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You need to connect via the OTG Micro USB socket on the DE10-Nano, using an OTG USB hub.

There are also OTG adapters that would let you attach a regular hub.

For anyone curious, OTG is a way for devices that are usually USB clients (DE10-nano, smartphone, whatever) to connect to USB devices (like controllers, drives, whatever) and act as the host.

Unfortunately the micro USB port isn’t working either, it must be that my USB hub isn’t “OTG” which is incredibly inconvenient. I will buy another hub.

Thanks everyone.

If you need a recommendation, for a cheap OTG hub these are used by many for low cost MiSTer builds:
