A question about the two USB jacks.

I recently received my DUE :smiley: and I have a couple micro USB cables on their way. I was just looking over the board and noticed that the USB slots are shaped just slightly different. The native port is rectangular and the programming port id "D" shaped. Will I need two different USB plugs?

Thanks for any replies,

The Native USB port on the Due uses a Micro-AB connector. It was designed to work with both a standard USB Micro-B cable and a USB Micro-A cable. The Native USB port can act as a USB host port. To operate in Host mode, you will need to use a special USB Female-A to Micro-A OTG (On The Go) cable. But for normal serial communications and programming all you need is the standard USB Micro-B cable for either USB port.
