Interesting pinout. However I cannot replicate this without having a docking station. Idea is to use USB pins for a second usb port. Do you know which one is activation of interface to make it usable?

My version has 4 usb3 pins routed instead of ethernet, and mostly the pins seems abit offset. The cradle contains a usb3hub, realtec ethernet nic, displaylink-gpu(?), Ftdi usb-serial converter and some other stuff. I found the usb2-datapins, and they worked when powering the connected device from an external powerbank, but I havent figured out how to get 5v out from the 24pin connector. When the PC sits in a cradle without external power, it does supply atleast 3,3v, perhaps even 5v. You haven't yet figured out how this works?

Correct pinout (at least for mk3 version) is:

| PIN | | Description |
|-----+---------+-----------------------------------+
| 01 | EN1 | Short to pin 22 to enable 5V USB |
| 02 | | |
| 03 | | |
| 04 | GRND | |
| 05 | 16V | Supply (Charger input ?) |
| 06 | 16V | |
| 07 | 16V | |
| 08 | 5V | Supply for usb |
| 09 | 5V | |
| 10 | 5V | |
| 11 | GRND | |
| 12 | D- | USB D- (white) |
| 13 | D+ | USB D+ (green) |
| 14 | GRND | |
| 15 | TX+ | SSTX+ (orange) |
| 16 | TX- | SSTX- (purple) |
| 17 | GRND | GND_DRAIN (for usb SS) |
| 18 | RX + | SSRX+ (yellow) |
| 19 | RX- | SSRX- (blue) |
| 20 | GRND | |
| 21 | | |
| 22 | EN2 | Short to pin 1 to enable 5V USB |
| 23 | | |
| 24 | | |

This pinout work for hardwiring an USB 3 hub (direct solder to connector):
