New page

The [www.nxp.com NXP] isp1707 is used as the USB PHY chip. [http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg25167.html].

There is no published datasheet for this chip.

It is not connected in a way which the direction of the USB port can be reversed.

This means that host mode is impossible without hardware modifications.
