Okay, I admit it, I've screwed it up before and I don't want to do it again.
I have several Single Board Computers that have SBC headers on them and I
have to run a commercial cable from the headers to a standard USB chassis
connector. The polarity of the USB header isn't obvious on some of these
boards and I have destroyed the USB interface on one of them by plugging a
device into the USB with the header on rotated 180 degrees. I don't want to
do this again.
How can I test a USB setup in a (completely) non-destructive manner? I'm
more than comfortable using DVMs and even oscilloscopes but I really don't
know what I can measure that will assure me that the connector is on the
board correctly.
TIA
