I plan to include Teensy 4.1 in a rackmounted project, with USB exposed on the front panel.
Option 1: Position the Teensy near the front panel, and expose the Teensy's USB directly.
I don't like this option. In order to make it physically robust enough to withstand plugging in and out, the Teensy would need to be soldered directly onto my baseboard.
I would rather not solder directly onto the baseboard, as it's difficult to replace the Teensy if that is ever required.
I would rather drop the Teensy onto some header sockets for maintainability, but as the Teensy doesn't have mounting holes, this just isn't secure enough.
Option 2: Break out the USB port somehow
Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but can the main USB port (the one soldered on to the Teensy) be broken out through pins?
Alternatively, is there a reasonably simple way to do this by using a separate UART to TTL chip? I don't mind one or two additional components.
Many thanks
