Milk-V Duo S Usage of USB Type A interface

[] The USB functions of the DuoS USB Type A interface and Type C interface are optional and cannot be used at the same time. The default firmware is configured with the USB network port (RNDIS) function of the Type C port.

If you need to switch to the USB 2.0 HOST port of the Type A port for use with USB flash drives and other devices, you need to execute the following command:

ln -sf /mnt/system/usb-host.sh /mnt/system/usb.sh

sync

[] Then execute the reboot command or power on again to make it take effect.

For example, after connecting a USB flash drive to the USB A port, you can use ls /dev/sd* to check whether the device is detected.

Mount it to the system to view the contents of the USB flash drive (take /dev/sda1 as an example):

mkdir /mnt/udisk

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/udisk

Check whether the contents of the /mnt/udisk directory are as expected:
ls /mnt/udisk

Command to uninstall USB flash drive:

umount /mnt/udisk

When you want to restore the USB network (RNDIS) function of the Type C port, execute:

rm /mnt/system/usb.sh

ln -sf /mnt/system/usb-rndis.sh /mnt/system/usb.sh

sync


[]Then execute the reboot command or power on again to make it take effect.


TIP
DUOS HAS AN ONBOARD ETHERNET INTERFACE, SO THE USB NETWORK PORT (RNDIS) OF THE TYPE C PORT CAN BE USED WITHOUT SWITCHING TO THE USB 2.0 HOST FUNCTION OF THE A PORT.
