Not sure if you got an answer from our support people, but the unofficial answer is that the factory uses a usb barcode scanner (and they use the same usb hid protocol as usb keyboards) to program in the VCOM for the display etc., so OTG works.

However, there's no support for typing in text in the on-device application. Even more unofficial, we had live text synchronization from the desktop application to the on-device application working on our prototypes last summer, but we decided to remove it from the 1.0 release because of the added complexity (mostly UX) that comes with text editing.
