USB ports
The i.MX6 family of processors offer a native USB 2.0 Host port and a USB 2.0 OTG interface. Depending on the factory option purchased, the SBC-A62-J board
can be equipped with a SMSC USB2514 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub Controller, so that the total amount of USB 2.0 Host ports can be four instead of the native one
only.
Lined to the ETHERNET connector, there is a double USB connector, CN6, which is a
standard double USB Type A socket, shielded.
This connector can carry out the i.MX6 native USB 2.0 Host port, or the USB ports #1 and
#2 coming out from theoptional SMSC USB2514 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Hub Controller.
Since this connector is a standard type-A receptacle, it can be connected to all types of USB
1.1 / USB 2.0 devices using standard-A USB 2.0 plugs.
