USB Host mode and dedicated wiring #2

Hi, Very interesting project, but not sure I am understanding the USB operation.

It looks like the M0 does not have the ID wire connected, so does this mean that the f/w is forcing it into USB Host Mode? If so, what is the recovery process for when 'we' want to upgrade the f/w or purpose for something else?

Looking at the pictures here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-trinket-m0-circuitpython-arduino/overview

It looks like the D+/D- are also available as pads on the underside. Yes! This would make it much simpler to use in my project to host a Midi keyboard for my Uno Synth (2.5mm Midi in).

Just a regular USB Type A->Type Micro B cable cut D+/D- 1/2 way and solder direct to pads, then GND/VDD are shared between all Type-A, M0 and Type-miniB.

Any recommendations for a SMT single gate buffer chip for Midi UART out?

Thinking this (and the resistors) could just be super/crazy glued to underside of PCB with flying lead to Uno.

Cheers, Simon

Double click the reset button puts the samd21 in bootload mode.

The pads on the underside are not D+ anD- but only +5v and GND.
