USB/OTG PORT

[mike huxley]

Hi. Just bought the ImxQ pro mini with Android Nougat. One of the USB ports is a shared OTG, however the instructions in the box are so poor that it doesn’t say which of the 2 ports it is or explain how to use OTG. I’m new to Android so don’t understand the OTG thing!!
Any advice please

I'd not worry about the OTG side of things. If you ever want to manually flash firmware that is not a ZIP file (likely an IMG file), then you would connect your device to a PC using the OTG USB socket, but other than that, you're not likely to ever use it.
On phones/tablets, having a (normally microUSB) OTG socket means you can plug in a mouse/thumb drive with an adapter, however as the iMXQpro Mini has full sized USB sockets, this doesn't come into the equation.
