EVK board setup
The board I am using here is the MCIMX50EVK REV D. Its schematic can be downloaded from here.
In my testing, the board is powered by an external AC adaptor to the WALL5V_IN jack. J4 is set to REG_4V2 and J5 is set to 5V_MAIN.
If battery is used, both J4 and J5 should be set to BATTERY positions. AC adaptor at WALL5V_IN is still required to the board for 5V_MAIN power. It is because on our i.MX508 RD3 EVK, both OTG 5V power rail (USB_5V_OTG) and host 5V power rail (USB_5V_HOST) is powered from 5V_MAIN. If the board is powered from Li-ion battery and no 5V_MAIN, there will be no 5V supply to the the OTG port and no USB device will be detected.
OTG port as USB device
1. Connect USB cable from PC to the OTG port
2. execute this command to load the g_file_storage module and specify the backing storage. Here the storage is /dev/mmcblk0p1.
insmod g_file_storage.ko file=/dev/mmcblk0p1
3. You should see the USB mass storage device to PC.
4. Disconnect USB cable
5. run this command to unload the g_file_storage module
rmmod g_file_storage
OTG port as USB host
1. Connect a mouse to OTG port using an USB cable with ID pin shorted to GND at the i.MX50 end
2. i.MX50 should detect the USB mouse device automatically
2. cat /dev/input/mouseX
3. drag the mouse
4. Press ^C to quit
