yes, i'm saying that it's a lot longer than just a year's wait. unless
someone else does it and they contract me to ensure that it's compliant with
the EOMA68 specification. remember, you're a list of "one person" - we now
need at least... 999 more to justify the development cost.
usb attacks.... well, if you put 240v AC into a 5V device you get everything
you deserve to happen! so assuming that you're not going to do that, then
there should be no difficulties using a usb flash drive. everything that you
should normally expect to be successful by booting any computer off of a usb
drive you should expect to also be successful here. there is no difference:
it's a computer.
if however you are specifically asking, "is there any hardware-level
protection against idiots who plug in hardware usb devices that are designed
to cause physical damage" the answer's a definite "NO". too expensive, too
low a risk to justify the cost. that having been said if somebody wants to
pay me to do that type of design research to protect against hardware-level
USB attacks i'm quite happy to do that.
