It certainly is not easy to write USB support. From what I have heard, it is one of the hardest thing to support when it comes to device drivers. I do not know who suggested Linux drivers, but that won't be easy and I doubt if it is possible. For example, GRUB does not have the required functions the drivers want to call and GRUB does not support interrupts (neither can it, AFAIK). So if you want to start working on USB, I suggest picking the simplest host controller and start writing a polling driver for it. -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
