Hello,

The USB Init routine will by default wait forever for a USB enumeration, that is the PC request for info and the device is setup correctly with device drivers.

If you go into the USB component properties then you can enable a timeout which will allow the init function to wait for a bit and then resume your program. The return value from the init routine then tells you if the USB is active or not.
