| - | This means that host mode is impossible without hardware modifications.

| - | Reportedly connecting pin D3 (ID) to D2 (GND) of the chip will allow direction to be switched.

| - | This however may be incorrect - it seems on a reading of similar device datasheets that yes, the ID pin is used on hardware that supports it to switch between host and device mode.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | But, importantly, the ID pin does nothing directly to the state of the chip. It simply informs the CPU of the state of the ID pin, and leaves the driver to properly configure the chip.

| - | So, if the kernel can be altered to ignore this pin - which should be trivial if there is host mode support for the chip in the kernel - then host mode works.

| - | However - this is a challenging rework job, even for those experienced with SMD soldering, and of course will void the warranty!
