I'm confused. According to the USB On The Go FAQ at: http://www.usb.org/faq/ans6 Q2: Do both portable devices have to be dual-role in order for both devices on order to connect and operate? A2: No, dual-role devices will connect to all PCs, and will also have host functionality to connect to supported USB peripherals. From that I gathered that only the host side of a USB-OTG connection needs a special chip. Am I wrong?
