USB host mode issue with pre-built android ICS on beagleboardXM

Hello,

I have ported pre-built android OS on BeagleboardXM. Does it support the USB host Mode?

I was trying to enumerate the USB devices connected to board and UsbManager.getDeviceList returned empty list. I checked the UsbManager class and it returns empty list only for two possibilities

1. USB host mode is unsupported

2.USB host mode is inactive.

I am not sure whether host mode is unsupported as I have connected USB mouse and keyboard n they are working fine. Could anybody help me by giving some inputs?

    Perhaps the API fails because the platform does not indicate USB Host support.

    Could you try adding the following line in your device.mk and rebuilding
