Hello all, Some years ago we had the exact same use case where we have an android application which drive an embedded devices (in USB Accessory Mode). The only way to communicate with this device is through USB channel and we wanted to use gRPC. So we develop the USB transport channel in gRPC bask in 2018 (based on gRPC v1.13.0). The guy from our teams that made these patches had now leaved but I'll be glad to submit a patch series if the USB support is still foreseen to be support but I may not be able to answer all the questions about tricks that came in this code.
Do you want to receive a merge request ? Thanks for the good works gRPC guru.
