OTG means the BeagleBoard can act as a device (like a keyboard, pendrive, etc) when connected to something else which is the host.

- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoHm, I usually see this called out as being able to act as an HID. "OTG" is such a gallingly stupid, uninformative term.
- rcxdude 3y agoIt's because it was originally developed for smartphones: originally normally trieted as devices, then adding the ability to act as hosts, therefore you have a USB host "on the go". The more modern version and terminology is USB-C dual-role support, which is the same basic thing but using the USB-PD protocol to negotiate instead of a special marker cable (which the product page does also use).
- IshKebab 3y agoNo it means it can act as a host, when it would normally be a device.
