    Dear All,

    Apologies if this has already been asked/answered, I did look but couldn't find it.

    Anyway with the Udoo Neo there is one USB. I have a project where I would like to have two cameras. Now there are several options:

    1. Use a USB camera and say a OV7670 (or just use two OV7670's)
    2. Use a USB camera and the Video in
    3. Use a USB hub with two USB cameras

    I was wondering if the there was another USB interface on the board that could be tapped into? If not will just go with option (1), probably.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Dear nickbits,
    as written in the datasheet there are 2 USB ports on UDOO: 1x USB 2.0 Type A ports 1x USB OTG (micro-AB connector).
    However, USB OTG is not working as expected, so I'd suggest solution number 3 for now.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply. I did not that in the data sheet but had issues with my OTG Adaptor Cable so assumed I had missed something, thus asking the question to see if there was an alternative. Project needs to be as small as pos. so really want to avoid using a hub. Might have to use the GPIO and see about two OV7670s as an alternative. Can I ask what the issue is with OTG.

    Thanks,
    Nick

    The current problem with OTG is that it doesn't work as a normal USB.
