Mini USB port on Mavic

[Hamltnlbue]

Hello
I noticed that the Mavic has a mini usb port on the side. What is it used for?
I thought that updates are done through the controller.
Thanks

to connect it to a PC or Mac with a dji assistant as the program to do updates calibration and what not

its for updates and crash avoidance camera calibration.. when required via the pc and DJI assistant 2
a quick calibration can be done via the go app on the sensors
page 23 of the manual

Micro USB Port on Mavic?

Thanks

That port can also be used to retrieve DAT flight logs from the Mavic's internal memory card or transfer the photos/videos from the removable memory card.

Dear DJI (or any developer): Any chance this mini USB port (on side of aircraft) might also be connected in such a way that a future SW/firmware upgrade could expose some GPIO (general purpose IO) for hobbyists looking to control (w/ power) a small DIY daughter board ?? (Might be easier than what everyone else is doing - strapping opto switches to the LEDs to switch on/off logic)....just wonderin'. I searched GPIO on this forum and got nothin' for hits.

Can't believe you haven't read the manual yet.

I'm with Iocoman. Bit baffled by this post.

Hamltnlbue is posting about a second mini USB port on the logic board that is accessible by opening the drone.
I want to know if I can reset/change UIDs and serial numbers of the drone
