How to resolve the issue of the mouse and keyboard not working through the USB OTG port?
There are two solutions available:
1) “echo host > /sys/devices/platform/fe8a0000.usb2-phy/otg_mode.” – this will enable the OTG port to be used normally as a host, and you can connect the keyboard and mouse.
2) In vi /etc/rc.local, remove the # in front of “echo host > /sys/devices/platform/fe8a0000.usb2-phy/otg_mode.” it will be normal every time you turn on the computer, but please note that it won’t support ADB.
