OMAP-L138 LCDK: Can I use the USB Host as a serial device?

Hello all,

A little background to give an idea of what I am trying to do:

Previously I had been running an application on a Windows PC, that interfaces over USB to some custome hardware that uses an MSP430.  The MSP430 interfaces over UART with an FTDI chip.

I was able to treat the USB port as a Serial Port on the PC side of things.  

So... now I have my LCDK, and I would like to use the USB Host port to do the same exact thing.  Right now I just want to get started with sending some bytes over and having my custom MSP430 board receive them.

The UART2 is for the console output, and it's also not the right physical interface (need a USB port, not a USB mini/micro). So far from the schematic it seems UART0 is connected to a LAN8710A chip, which I assume has something to do with the NIC interface?  UART1 seems to be connected to the audio.  

So how do I access the USB Host as a serial port?  Is this possible?
