I don't get why we keep poking this and get to the same conclusions I had 3 weeks ago. Basically the binding is saying that downstream ports are identical to the device. Including the aspect of having more downstream ports (so device -> downstream ports -> downstream ports -> downstream ports ... infinite). To remind that was my conclusion: "Downstream port is not the same as device. Why downstream port has the same supplies? To which pins are they connected?" Best regards, Krzysztof
