Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and [email protected] if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.

That micro-USB port isn't great either. And the leds seem quite hard to read.

I guess nobody fully assembled a prototype and tried to use it.

Not that it changes anything about its poor placement, but that looks like mini USB to me ๐Ÿค“

Yep, Cisco uses Mini USB. For some reason.
(That's used for a built-in USB to serial adapter for console access.)

But I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. They also chose RJ-45 for serial port instead of DB9 as usual.

Ok, yes, it does.

... It's also upside down?!...

Does any USB variant have a "right" side up?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The USB symbol on the connector should be up. I think that means the wide side of a mini should be down, but I'm looking for a cable...

EDIT: and no, the one on the device is on the correct position.
