I just buyed an Arduino Yun and I want to know if it's possible to read data from a usb key just like an SD card ?

Thankyou for your answers.

Yes.

GOOGLE: arduino keyboard example

If you want to read data from the keyboard, then you need to log into the Linux side of the Yun and attach a keyboard to the USB HOST interface (the big USB plug on the Yun).

By USB key, I assume he means a thumb drive or jump drive (a keychain drive.)

You should be able to just plug it in, and it will mount just like an SD card. After plugging it in, see what volumes are listed in /mnt/

The Yun supports 4 flash drives if I remember it right. With the sd card inserted, you can connect a USB hub with 3 extra usb flash drives.
