USB Device Support

[Darryl Dieckman]

Hello,

I'm looking into the feasibility of developing a driver for a USB 
FLASH storage device.  The MTD project page says that a goal
of the project is to allow device developers to write read, write,
and erase functions for their particular device, and you'll be ready
to go.  Has the project evolved to a state where this is indeed a 'simple'
exercise?

As for the magnitude of this 'simple' task, would you say that it
would be a 1 week or 1 month exercise for an experienced 
programmer.  By experienced I mean experienced in C and 
Linux, but not an experienced kernel developer.

I'm also under the impression that by creating this driver, I will also
get support for the Journaling Flash File System.  Is this a correct 
assumption?

Thanks in advance for any inputs on this endeavor.  Hopefully all
will go well, and I will soon be able to add another device to the 
list. ;)

Thanks
Darryl
