Does kobo clara support host usb in hardware?

Hi,
I am investigating if the clara can support host usb. It supports client usb well. The kernel appears to have all the necessary software configured in. However there is no voltage being output from the OTG cable, and there are several "dummy regulator" usb messages being emitted by dmesg at boot. I am assuming that host OTG USB is not possible due to hardware limitations. However my hardware might be faulty...

• USB:
— Two High Speed (HS) USB 2.0 OTG (Up to 480 Mbps), with integrated HS USB PHY
But I am not sure if the onboard circuit supports USB OTG.
