Hi

I am totally new to USB.

Is it like writing to a serial port COM1, COM2... ?

I am writing an application to read and write data to a USB port, Can anyone help me,

1.what library/ API do i need to use?

2.can i have a generic USB read and write function (C/C++ function) that can be ported to any platform?

Thanks in advance

Bye

I do not usb devices (flash derives) to be detected by kernel?
Can anybody tell me at what stage do the usb modules are loaded at boot 
time?

Is putting  "nousb" as grub option good enough?

  Does that solve the issue for you?
