As Henry already pointed out, file system (and block device) access of USB mass storage devices is already there in the Linux kernel. For other kinds of devices, especially where the Linux kernel has no built in drivers, you can use libusb. Some time ago I did header translations for it. I'll attach it (libusb.pas) plus some utilities and a class wrapper (usbutil.pas), firmware download to Cypress EZ-USB AN2131 (and related) chips (ezusb.pas), intel hex file reader (intelhex.pas), and some generic utilities (utils.pas) used by the other units. As an example of a device driver for a simple device I built, I'll attach accudraindev.pas. Unfortunately it's rather uncommented, sorry. @FPC team: Are you interested in including the libusb header translations (and possibly the other stuff) to FPC rtl? Bye Hansi
