can the 'accessory' usb port (the one implemented via p31,p32) be used to download a program (binary)?

I guess it should be possible to connect that USB connection to the local filesystem, then effectively you do the same as with the other USB port. But that only works if you add that to your program: So if you would use that to upload a default blinking-LED program next for example it wouldn't work anymore.

You can also implement a complete bootloader manually, but that is even more work to do.
