Is what you are trying to do already working, No. Are you going to have to write your own code, Yes. Are you going to have to build your own board, Yes.

Are you an embedded programmer, ..... Have you done anything like this before, ..... Will it work within two weeks, ....

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

It's possible, but I don't think it's what you want in this case.

It all stems from the nature of the device to be connected to the PC via your interface. If you want to connect a USB "device" such as a printer, then your interface must be a host.

Note that, if the right-hand-side in the above diagram is a hub, your interface would be connected to its downstream port; the hub's upstream port would need to be connected to a host (directly or via further hubs).

Like any protocol stack, it doesn't have to be complicated to integrate it (relatively speaking).

Also, by no means is an operating system necessary to run a USB Host stack, after all it's just shifting packets on two wires (and some descriptor management).
