Devices show up in lsusb, and work - with appropriate kernel modules install.
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
They don't.
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always

OTHER COMMENTS:
The hardware does in fact work somewhat in USB host mode.

This shows details of egoshin succeeding in mounting a USB stick.
Others have had success with DisplayLink adaptors, to connect an external
monitor, and USB hubs.

This mode is currently very flaky, as it relies on somehow prodding the
partially working OTG support into hostmode.

It does not switch the hardware into host mode, but relies on side-effects to
get it there.

It is also not in principle user friendly, as it relies on having an external
PC to plug it into, in order to setup the required conditions.

If Nokia cannot provide this - is there any way to provide documents helpful to
the members of the community interested in developing this - for example any
source code that may have been removed that was designed to support USB host,
access to the isp1707a datasheet?

Thanks.
