No, this is wrong. For many years there has been two in
anoncvs. Recently one for the AT91 was added. There is also a driver
for the DS12 soon to be added soon and i know of two other drivers
which have been written and might get added. There has been a recent
boom in USB!

I think it has been lack of need. However USB itself can be hard to
get right, so don't underestimate the learning curve, time, tools,
silicom bugs etc.

packages/devs/usb

No, no one has contrubted support for this.

Contributions would be welcome.
