I have USB1 running as a host, which is its default configuration. (running a USB2 to Ethernet interface.) Since I am powering the board with external +5V going into VIN, I am also using VIN to power the Vbus pin on USB1. In a proper design, there would be a current limiting switch between +5V a

Unfortunately, in the U.S., there is no personal use or educational use waiver of patent protection. However, as long as you don't bring a lot of attention to the device, it shouldn't be a problem. China may have much more lenient patent laws, but I don't know this. I feel like that wouldn't rec

Pin 14 is the positive input for a single cell lithium (lion/lipo) battery. Data sheet lists max input of 7V so you could use other battery combinations/chemistries if you like, but the internal circuitry will protect based on a single cell lithium. Pin 16 is for a temperature sensor used for

You will probably have to come up with a separate 5V power source for the USB Host port. The Pocket Beagle has three power inputs that will power the CPU: Vin, USB-VIN and the battery input. None of these back power the other inputs. Any of the three inputs may be switched to the VOUT line, bu
