  • Roger,

    I am assuming you are referring to EHCI port on the experimenter board.

    Are you using a USB 2.0 hub to connect the mouse to the EHCI port? This is required to see the mouse working. Only a high speed device can be directly connected to the EHCI port. You might want to reboot the board and try your experiment with the hub.

    The default catalog which comes with the BSP has the entries for HID keyboard and mouse enabled by default. The EHCI port on experimenter board is also enabled in defauly catalog. Could you confirm that you are able to see the mouse activity when using the prebuilt image which is part of the BSP? You should not have to recompile the OS design for EHCI mouse/keyboard functionality.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

  • Roger,

     

    In addition, try plugging the mouse into the OTG connector.  If the mouse works, then Aparna's suggestion on the USB 2.0 hub should work. If the OTG port also does not recognize the mouse, then it is most likely an option not enabled in the catalog.
