Bert, So it a distinct possibility you're running into the "wall" that Robert mentioned in his first post. The OTG interface in the device tree board overlay file is configured in peripheral mode. In order to fix that. No you would not need to recompile the kernel( this is one of the great things about device tree overlays ), but you would have to edit, and recompile the device tree board overlay, move the old one out of the way, and replace with the newly created device tree overlay binary. This would however only have to be performed on the client (USB mini ) BBB.
