I am considering using memory sticks as a more convenient storage medium, rather than SD cards. Can the USB OTG port on the AMB82-mini be used for this purpose?

Hi @Barryn56 ,

You can refer to the following examples,

FreeRTOS SDK: [ameba-rtos-pro2/component/example/usb\_mass\_storage at main · Ameba-AIoT/ameba-rtos-pro2 · GitHub](https://github.com/Ameba-AIoT/ameba-rtos-pro2/tree/main/component/example/usb_mass_storage)

Arduino SDK: [ameba-arduino-pro2/Arduino\_package/hardware/libraries/USB/examples/USB\_Mass\_Storage/USB\_Mass\_Storage.ino at dev · Ameba-AIoT/ameba-arduino-pro2 · GitHub](https://github.com/Ameba-AIoT/ameba-arduino-pro2/blob/dev/Arduino_package/hardware/libraries/USB/examples/USB_Mass_Storage/USB_Mass_Storage.ino)

Guide: [USB Mass Storage — Ameba Arduino AIoT Documentation v1.1 documentation](https://ameba-doc-arduino-sdk.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/ameba_pro2/amb82-mini/Example_Guides/USB/USB%20Mass%20Storage.html)

Hope it helps!

Thanks Pammy, but that is not quite what I meant. I don’t want to use the internal SD card at all - I want to provide storage via a USB memory stick instead, so that video data is sent to the USB port and saved on the removable drive. Regards, Barry
