Hi everyone,

I'm new in the mbed world and I want to realize a pcb for connect the Ethernet and USB connectors.

For the Ethernet I bought this: RJ45 SI-60002-F and the datasheet is here: http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/17297.pdf

While for the USB I bought a USB A and USB B connectors.

I realized this schematic, the pins from the mbed to the connectors are right??

I searched and I found this post (http://mbed.org/cookbook/Ethernet-RJ45) that confirm me the right connection of RJ45.

But for the USB I have a question?

I found some posts that explain how to use the USB-A (pins D+ and D-) for connect external device (for example pendrive, USB dongle...), in this case the mbed is used as USB Host.

But I can use the pin D- and D+ for connect the mbed to the another PC (via USB-B)?

Thanks
