I had a need to test the insert/remove a whole bunch for a while. Because the timing worked out, I ended up getting a programmable USB hub [1]. It worked well for my needs, but I'm not sure I'd trust it enough for a really inaccessible location.

I do wish I could find a not stupid priced version of this concept that does USB 3.1

Took me a while to find this again, but here you go: https://www.yepkit.com/product/300110/YKUSH3, a 3-port USB 3.1 Hub with switchable Vbus that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Very nice find! Thanks a ton!

we use these in our CI/CD pipelines as we deal with embedded hardware. they work absolutely awesome for power cycling stuck USB peripherals or powering USB-powered boards for tests.

I’me working on an embedded project and would like to setup a CI/CD pipeline. Do you have any recommended resources?

There was a presentation about CI/CD for embedded systems at HITB+CyberWeek a couple of days ago: https://cyberweek.ae/2020/ci-cd-with-sast-and-dast-for-embed...

Thanks!
