Dear Andre,
I have read the schematic of M8P again to recheck a few things. The split of DTS may not be needed after all.
The 4 USB of H616 are used on both boards.
Where this changes is with Rpi CM4 and the usbotg switch is used alongside rpiboot switch to make eMMC of CM4 as host media so data can be loaded onto it.
I will adjust the DT in next revision accordingly.
Regards,
Martin
