Hello,

According to me, due to present schematic of DE1-SOC ( cyclone V ) kit, you would not be able to run it in device mode. It is intended to work in host mode only.Although Cyclone V Soc has OTG IP core in it, on hardware it is connected to USB Hub. So it would not be possible unless you make any change in board. also making changes in board is not recommended.

So I think you should look for other board (perhaps DE0- nano which you mentioned earlier ) which has micro AB connector to support both Host and device functionality.

Hope it would help.

Cheers,

Bhaumik
