Is it possible? Yes.
Was it solved in the thread linked to above? No.
Requirements:
A micro-USB Host cable (adapter) rather than the micro-USB Device cable.
(Look closely, that micro-USB connector has five pins, not four. It is the fifth pin that determines if the cable is Host or Device.)
The host-side kernel driver modules. If not already included in the kernel module build, they can be built and added to the collection of modules
without re-building the kernel.
Note: Since the SoC does have USB ports in addition to the OTG port, the host-side modules are most likely already included in the module collection.
Like everything else on my side of the keyboard - it is on my to-do list.
But don't anyone go holding their breath for me to get around to doing it.
Consider this idea another "orphaned project" here, without anyone that has the time to do it. If you (any reader) have time, go for it.
