| Nov 7, 2016 at 16:29 | comment | added | goldilocks | @Ghanima I have a stack of Android devices here from various big names that will work as OTG hosts and they all follow the same pattern: micro-B jack. So obviously the industry did not really go with the microAB type receptacle -- possibly because that jack is square and the big ones are confusing enough having to peer into to determine which way is up so you don't snap something. | |
| Nov 7, 2016 at 16:08 | comment | added | Ghanima♦ | By the book (An OTG product must have a single micro-AB receptacle and no other USB receptacles.) an OTG device should have an micro-AB (and not an micro-B) jack and the OTG cable should have an micro-A plug (not an micro-B). The Pi however has an micro-B jack and the adapters that ship with it have a micro-B plug. It would seem that neither the Pi nor other devices really care about the spec. So your answers seems to be right - in the real world. | |
