Looks cool Damien!

I've written a bunch of code (USB drivers... yuck!) for the STM32F,
and have another project in progress that might use it.

I was going to ask if you started from scratch or used an existing
RTOS. Reading your blog post it sounds like you used ChibiOS; I did
come across this in the past, but didn't get to the point of building
and running it. How did you find it to use?

Would you recommend it to someone else?

It's funny that you're thinking about the iMX25, as I've spent some
time with that one too (funnily enough, lots of time around USB -
again!).

Cheers,

Joel
