What needs to be done to the chipKIT to make is ADK compatible?

It will be ADK compatible in about July when the shield that has the Ethernet and USB connectors is available. We expect to have the full USB libraries done at that time as well

From what I have gleaned since I first posted this message is that except for the Microchip PIC24 Arduino board, all the other Adruino boards that that ADK web page point to seem to be using a MAX3421E USB host controller. The ADK page even points out that the they use this shield:

This chip would not be needed if the PIC32 could be coaxed into using its USB port as a host port. But it could quite possible be added and be able to quickly get up and running as an ADK board.

Does anyone know if the USB port on the chipKIT boards is wired for USB OTG?

Then In guess we would need an OTG cable mini B to micro B... Good luck finding that.

Yes, the USB port on the chipkit max32 board will support, master, slave and OTG usb. I am not sure about the uno32 board.

I think he is referring to the actual USB port connected to the FTDI chip which is only a serial USB converter plus some GPIO.

I guess that until you release the shield with the USB connectors for the PIC32MX there is no support for any USB mode.

The PIC32MX320F128 part on the Uno32 doesn't have a USB controller in it, so it can't be used to implement a USB device or host.

The MAX32 board support USB protocol, with network shield mounted it can use ethernet and master/slave usb, but is it compatible with adk? Or is possible use adk libraries like an arduino mega board on max32?
