On the pocket beagle, USB0, which is brought out to the microUSB connector on the board is only intended to be used as a 'client', so you can not plug the WiFi there. You have to use USB1, which is pinned out to the 36 pin connector P1. USB1 is configured to be a USB master/server. You will need to hand wire it into the appropriate pins on that connector. You will also need to supply +5Volts to Vusb on pin P1-5 to tell the Pockebeagle USB1 interface that something is connected. You also need to decide how you will power the board and supply power to the USB1 connection. I found the PocketBeagle was unstable if you only supplied power to Vin USB1 (P1-7) Powering both Vin USB0 (P1-1) and Vin USB1 (P1-7) works much better. There is no USB current limiter circuitry on USB1, so be careful running without the normal USB power protection. --- Graham
