Hi Yitai, Unfortunately we have to accept the fact that phones less than about 1 year old no longer support OTG. Blue tooth is the only solution. The cable I asked about does nothing.
There are several programs to check USB OTG on the phone itself. These are useful as an independent check, independent from your board. Any of them will work on "old" phones but will fail on new phones, indicating that the phone does not support OTG. The cable is simply a red herring and contributes nothing. Too bad that the OTG technology came and went within 5 years, but this seems to be the case. So we will switch our system from OTG to blue tooth.
