Wait, so you are talking about the Manta board now? I see two sockets, the
2.54mm headers and the STM32 there, but the Pi4B is quite different in
that respect: I see four(!) USB type-A sockets (two dual-port stacks).
Plus the CM4 connector seems to only have pins for one USB 2.0 port
(D-,D+). So is this a hub chip on the underside of the board, close to the
USB ports? Can you read the label of that chip?
And where are the other H616 USB pins routed to? Are they (ab-)using the
PCIe pins of the CM4 connector? Or are they actually not used at all, and
it's all one USB port through a by-4 hub?
If you have a running system, "lsusb -t" should give you a clue which host
ports are used and if there is a hub.

Cheers,
Andre
