USB stack and protocols in RTEMS-4.10?

[Sebastian Huber]

Hello Emeric,

the USB stack is a part of the LibBSD (https://git.rtems.org/rtems-libbsd).

I would use the RTEMS master.

Currently it is not supported. The GRLIB manual suggests that it uses an 
UHCI or EHCI controller. Both are supported by LibBSD. What is missing 
is the LEON adaptation.

Mass storage, yes.

Ethernet over USB, no. However, it is supported by FreeBSD, so its just 
porting the code to LibBSD.

This is hard to guess, for an RTEMS newbie maybe four to infinite weeks. 
Its probably more efficient to contract people specialized in this domain.
