usb WEB

[Storic]

hi,

is it possible to use USB interface to act like TCP/IP Ethernet.
for instance able to get a web page on the micro/SD and display on the PC/internet web explorer

Not really, and yes...
You are confusing yourself. A web page, has nothing to do with TCP/IP. TCP/IP, is the transport 'layer', immediately above the hardware one, for sending stuff over Ethernet. The web 'browser', doesn't care how stuff is transported. Hence you can take a web page, save it on your local hard disk, and open this with the browser. When you do this, TCP/IP, doesn't come into the equation at all. The same applies over USB. USB, has it's own transport layer, which does not use TCP/IP. You can build a USB slave device with a PIC, which is seen as a storage device, and inside this device, have the text for a web page, and open this with the browser. If you want to add the extra complexity of TCP/IP, then you would have to make the device be seen as a network CDC device, and then provide the extra code to handle TCP/IP as well. A lot of extra work, which would achieve nothing more...
