You need a USB host driver for the CPM2 controller. There are several 
solutions:

- Start with the driver available at http://cpm2usb.sourceforge.net/ and port 
it for your kernel.
- Ask Montavista support for a CPM2 USB host driver (they will most likely 
charge for that).
- Buy the Arabella kernel and port the driver to the Montavista kernel (ask 
the Arabella support to make sure their USB host driver supports what you 
need, and pay attention to possible license issues).

In the end, it boils down to writing code yourself or paying someone to do the 
job.
