assume that you have 2 platforms with usb support. In fact, one device and a PC. On the first platform, you have a USB device attached (e.g. a memory stick).
You connect the platform with the PC through their usb ports.
Is there any way you can control the memory stick through the PC? (The first platform will act something like a USB relay?).
Its not mandatory that the platform can access the USB device at the same time. I can even have 2 different firmwares, one for normal use(ttyUSBx) and another as a Linux Hub. How can I make mt platform behave like a usb hub? (I have no experience in USB, any hints are welcomed).
To me this seems like a very dangerous thing. The PC software will assume that the data on the memory stick is unchanged unless it is plugged out and re-discovered. So if your device works as a hub and under the covers accesses the memory stick, the PC will easily fail or corrupt the data on the stick.
