{{Message/Information Message|title=USB OTG power is not available on newer IGEP COM MODULE devices|message='''NOTE''': Newer IGEP COM MODULE devices (IGEP0030-RFxx version since 2016 year) don't allow power devices using USB OTG connector. You should be used an expansion board (as example [[IGEP_NEW_YORK|IGEP NEW YORK]])}}
