+Run the USB connection test:
+```shell
+util/mem_helper.sh load_program -e sw/cheri/build/checks/usbdev_check
+```
+Connect the user USB to a laptop's USB-A port. The UART should show this:
+```
+Initialising USB
+Connected
+Test passed; disconnected from USB.
+```
+
+Run the USB echo test. First you need to apply the following diff:
+```diff

+
+Open USB serial output. For me this is `screen /dev/ttyUSB1`. Check that the output is:

+Also type into the USB screen instance and see that it is echoed on the UART side.
