how to add usb driver in linux

my board is xcalse and run montavista, i want to mount an usb disk on it

1) cat /proc/devices Character devices: ...... 180 usb ......

2)mknod /dev/usb/usb0 c 180 200

mount /dev/usb/usb0 /mnt

mount: /dev/usb/usb0 is not a block device

3)mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb cat /proc/bus/usb/devices //nonthing cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers usbdevfs hub questions: 1)Character devices points out the usb device is an character device, but the linux will access it by SCSI module, but how to relate dev/usb/usb0 to SCSI module? 2)cat /proc/bus/usb/devices //nonthing why the bus cant get the usb device's information?

USB memory is a SCSI device so you have to mount it as /dev/sdX exactly as you do on a Deskop linux box (for example)

# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

You will find many hints about this topic if you search with google :-)

the os has not /dev/sdX (for example /dev/sda1) but only /dev/scsi dir, but under the dir there is not any file. im not sure that the os has already install usbcore and usb-uhci to support UHCI , usb-storage to support usb disk and ide-scsi to support ide to scsic.

by the way :the os is montavista linux professional edition 3.1
