Can USB-NeoHub be used as a normal USB hub?

[ilario]

Dear all,
I found the USB-NeoHub product on the website.

For my next project, I will need a USB hub anyway, so I was considering whether to get a normal USB-HUB or the OSHW USB-NeoHub.

The question is: what is the difference between the two? Apart from the USB-A or USB-C plug, clearly. Can I use the USB-NeoHub as a normal USB-HUB?

The difference is the chip used inside and their compatibility with the TinyUSB software that Neohub uses. But this doesn't matter for general-purpose usage.

If you are looking for general-purpose hub, the USB-HUB is just fine.

If you are looking for USB hub specifically for Neo6502, then it is recommended to use USB-NeoHub.

Also refer to this to see why USB-NeoHub was designed:
