(Yes, the USB port is an OTG version - it can run as a Host not just a Device - that is the reason for the fifth pin on the micro-usb connector - the Host/Device mode control line.)
If someone has a microUSB HOST cable, plug it in, it might "just work" -
If not, then we will need usb_modeswitch to override the mode select line.

micro-USB HOST cables are available from your favorite high-tech supplier:
