The USB port on the ARM board isn't a host port. It's a device port and you can connect it only to a host (PC) or a hub.

Currently it's only used for initial firmware upload (any further flash updates can be made from an SD-Card) or to revive bricked boards.

With appropriate software support it could be used for virtuallization of serial and/or parallel port.


Which Controller are you using?

Well that's buggered that idea.  Mind you, using it as a parallel port might have some uses.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

Mind you, the C-One has a couple of A1200 clock ports.  Perhaps a Subway could be connected to them if they were active withing the Minimig environment.

Currently 31 KB of the Flash is used (the Flash is 256 KB in total) and over 16 KB of RAM.

Subfolder support has not been implemented yet.
