USB connector won't handle the bandwidth required by raw DVI/HDMI. You could use a DisplayLink USB to HDMI adapter like the AlwaysInnovating DualScreen if USB host mode is available. Since the board is using the OTG connector instead of the mini-B there's a fair chance of a usable host mode, but wait for confirmation. > Would the "cameraconnector" (the extra connection to the back of the phone) > allow for this kind of signalling?
