It is true that the port on the back on the nyan-big can be used with
recovery mode. I was thinking that this is not a true OTG port as it is
just a 4-pin type A socket and does not have an ID pin. Thinking some
more about this the USB spec does include a "Host Negotiation Protocol
(HNP)" that allows a host and device to swap roles and so keeping it as
OTG seems valid afterall.
