[android-developers] Re: Android 3.1 and USB to Serial

That does not answer the question. The ADK is for connection a host
to the Android slave. It does not help at all when the other device
is a slave like a typical USB-serial off the shelf converter.

Our company has also been looking for a solution to this question and
have come up empty. Android 3.1 with host USB capability does connect
effortlessly with a typical USB keyboard because the Android OS has
USB drivers for HID class USB devices built-in. But the tablets we
tried did not come with CDC class USB drivers, which you would need to
talk to a serial module. If anyone finds a _real_ solution to this
problem, please let me know too.
