-First I wrote a small libusb-based test utility for experimenting with the keyboard. I'm directly communicating with the keyboard from userspace, unloading the kernel driver first.

-Well, as you can see, programming takes quite a while, mainly because of the slow input speed I mentioned before, but is very reliable. Since I assume that many people have some old USB keyboard laying around collecting dust, it still could be used as a bootstrap flasher for solving the old chicken-and-egg problem when building a faster programmer ([[http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/|USBasp]], [[http://www.ladyada.net/make/usbtinyisp/|USBtinyISP]]) or as low-speed general purpose output for other applications. For example, many outputs could be driven using a simple serial-in, parallel-out shift register.

 I'd say that's quite an improvement, and very well acceptable for a chicken-and-egg bootstrap flasher :-)
