Hi, whether Is there any flash driver at the OS level (linux) to load or we need to write/develop ?, please suggest me.

+1  A: 

My mistake. I thought the OP was referring to Adobe Flash as he gave no indication in the original question that he meant Flash Memory Hardware.

It isn't an OS "driver" but there is a Linux version of Flash player 10.1 which will allow you to run flash resources within your OS as you normally would of the Windows version.

I suspect you might be confused about the word driver within the context of an OS and that the Player is actually what you're looking for.

I can't think of a connection scenario where Linux would not see the media. Additionally, I can't see a scenario involving a file system on it that was not supported.

What remains is how your kernel was compiled. Without additional information, I can only say it should work just fine.

Flash readers connected via USB are handled by the usb-storage driver. Readers connected via another bus (e.g. PCI) need a separate MTD driver in order to be recognized. The Linux kernel comes with a number of them, but there will always be some that aren't (yet) supported.

There are CF -> IDE, CF -> SATA, CF -> SCSI and CF -> Firewire adapters floating around. Its hard to tell what he has.

@Tim: There are more types of flash memory than CompactFlash.
