It's not going to be possible to debug a USB HOST driver from within eVC, at
least not without significantly re-writing it to run outside the context of
the device manager - can't imagine why they would tell you to try that.
Really the only way to debug a USB host driver is from the kernel debugger
in Platform Builder. So you would need either a BSP from the device vendor
or an OS image from them that allows you to enable KITL + Kernel debugger.
