4 Port USB 3.0 Hub for MinnowBoard Turbot Dual Core #125

Open RGVGreatCoder opened 5 years ago

RGVGreatCoder commented 5 years ago

Hello All,

I am building a system that will make use of a single board computer running a UWP app on Windows 10 IoT Core. I need to interact with four devices through USB-UART/Serial communication.

For this project, I am considering using a MinnowBoard Turbot Dual Core board but before I obtain one, I would like to know the answers to my questions below:

1) If a Powered 4 port USB 3.0 Hub is connected to the USB 3.0 port of a MinnowBoard Turbot Dual Core, will the board running Windows 10 IoT Core be able to interact with all the devices connected to the hub, like an ASUS touchscreen, LIfecam webcam, an UHF RFID Reader using UART communication among other devices?

2) (Not necessarily related to my primary question on this post), what Bluetooth USB dongle is recommended fo this board & OS?

Thanks and excited to hear your reply soon! ... :)

Will be hard to find someone who uses exactly the same devices with the MinnowBoard.

Myself im using a powered 4 port USB3.0 hub with Realtek RTS 5411 chipset. No issues so far with a touchscreen, lte modem, MCU and hdd connected.

As for the bluetooth dongle just get one which has good Windows support.

1) yes, provided that the USB hub is supported. I've used Anker powered USB hubs without issue. I can't speak to the devices you've mentioned, but USB HID stuff like touch screens have worked for me previously.

2) If I recall, this one has worked for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009ZIILLI

Note that Microsoft has a list of tested hardware, here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/learn-about-hardware/hardwarecompatlist
