MediaQ MQ-1132 USB Driver
The MediaQ MQ-1132 Host driver provides an OHCI interface for high-level USB device drivers implementing specific functionality, such as USB mouse and keyboard. The MQ-1132 is capable of 1.5Mbps as well as 12Mbps data rates.
So, can any one elaborate? Can AXIM indeed be a USB host?
P.S.
