No, the dual-role controller offers USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connections at 5,000Mbps, over 10 times faster than USB 2.0 high-speed connections at 480Mbps.

# How do I enable USB Type-C host mode?
|
|
|
You'll need a USB Type-C hub with "pass-through power" or a multiport adapter. Then, you might need to force the USB into host mode.
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
echo "host" | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/48890000.usb/mode
|
|
|
```

# Will the board cost over $200 like BeagleBoard-X15?
|
|
|
No, the board will be around $100, despite having similar features. Much of the savings comes from fewer USB 3.0 ports, removal of SATA and PCIe and lower-speed board interconnect. The RAM is also reduced from 2GB to 1GB and from 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports to just 1. We feel this is a good tradeoff for many people looking to experiment. The additional flash and addition of WiFi can largely be covered by the newer design and larger expected sales.
