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.
