Portenta H7 USB Webcam

Using Arduino Sensors
1

On the Portenta H7 circuit schematic I see all this talk about USBC video...

I have the vision shield but I've decided that I would rather use this USBC webcam instead (it is 200x200 and 30Hz color).

My project requires that only a single USBC cable run out of the enclosure, so I have 2 options:

  • I could find a USBC spitter board (2 inputs & 1 output) which—after much searching—I'm almost ready to conclude that there are none on the consumer market...
  • Or I somehow connect the webcam to the Portenta itself and stream the video data—as well as some other sensor data related to the project—to my PC from its USBC connection.

Anybody know how I might do either of these things?

USB uses hubs, not splitters, as its a digital transmission line medium.

Ya, hubs. I couldn't figure out how to implement the second idea so I ended up using this small hub from Yoctopuce which was the only PCB level option I could find. I routed the arduino into port 1 and the webcam into port 2.
