    Because the tech didn’t have the bandwidth capability, hence the doubling up…

    As addressed already higher up the thread!

          Right. The question is “why wouldn’t they use thunderbolt?” Stop being obtuse.

            Voltage limitations…

            I’m sorry, you’re calling me obtuse because you don’t know usb standards? That’s funny.

            There’s obviously a Reason, and as explained, bandwidth or power limitations. All previous revisions, weren’t right.

              …right so why didn’t they design their original embedded architecture to support the better technology?

                Because it wasn’t out yet? But they knew it was coming, so they made a stopgap. They knew they would eventually need a form of USB-c, so thunderbolt is right out.

                It’s a devkit, it’s for technology that is out for when it comes out, maybe a decade later. They know what’s coming out ahead though, stuff is announced YEARS to decades ahead.

                    Of course I do, clearly you don’t… it is its own proprietary port, you need an adapter for usb-c. So you’re suggesting that they need to package adapters for it to work? Thats the whole point of usb-c, to get rid of them.

                    Also, as explained previously… not enough voltage, there is multiple limitations on that cable already as well….

                    You’ve shown to have zero knowledge here, why do you continue to insult and pester me because I’m trying to be civil and explain this to you?
