Topic: Mikrotik USB and miniPCiE

Hi All,

We are trying to use a miniPCIe 4g module in our mikrotik RB912G board and we've run into the issue that the minipcie usb port doesnt work as it has to be selected/onboard USB port disabled.

Has anyone got any insight into how we can select or change the usb mode from the onboard USB port to the minipcie one?


Cheers

So i've had a rather cryptic replay from Mikrotik about this, they say to use GPIO 17 and USB_SEL, GPIO 17 isn't able to be used by the normal echo export command as it comes up as resource busy.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
gpio-17  (gpio-latch) in  hi

and I cant find reference to the usb_sel they are referring to, does anyone have any ideas?

The discussion might have continued from here.
