[beagleboard hacking note] USB OTG line

Beagleboard supports USB OTG mode, however beagleboard cannot run OTG mode with normal 5 pin mini USB lines.

It needs to short pin 4 and 5. and so that you can play with OTG mode. Therefore I bought a B type mini usb line and remove the cover and short pin 4 and 5, and I can play with OTG mode happily.

BTW, beagleboard can play as client with normal mini usb to USB A line as ethernet card. (USB0)
