to connect to CN5 I need Micro-A plug not Micro-B

In the User manual UM1467 (Getting started with software and firmware environments for the STM32F4DISCOVERY Kit) on page 4 under 2.1 ''System requirements'' it says:

'USB type A to Micro-B' cable, used to connect the board (through USB connector

CN5) as USB Device to host PC.

But according to the mounted CN5 connector and the ''Universal Serial Bus Micro-USB Cables and Connectors Specification'', it needs a Micro-A cable to connect to this so called ''Micro-AB receptacle interface''.

Is this a fault in the documentation?

Isn't it a hybrid (AB) connector, it definitely accepts the Micro-B to USB-A

Oh yes, it is. My non-standard cable was labeled wrong.
