Here's what I know about USB sticks now:

M1 would require reliable USB full-speed support, that's a difficult
problem with both Sebastien and Werner spending some time currently
to try to get this working better.

After that, we would need support for block transfers and storage
devices, a lot of code in the USB stack. So either this exists already
in RTEMS, or if not then realistically it could only work after
Flickernoise switched to Linux on M1, without loosing functionality.
That in turn would probably require work on an MMU and more time on
the Linux kernel (device drivers etc).

So all paths to make USB sticks work on M1 are not easy, but I think
we should still openly talk about what we know and invite newcomers to
join and help us.

I'd say this will take a year :-)
Cheers,
Wolfgang
