I've encountered TI's TMS series ARM7 based processors with USB host onboard, but they all were BGA. Anyone know of a microprocessor chip with USB host, that is SMT or DIP and affordable in small quantities? Being able to run an embedded Linux (2MB of RAM, compatable processor type, etc.) with the least amount of supporting electronics would be a huge plus.
I'd like to create a customizable USB to USB bridge interface. Something that would allow PDAs with only USB client to access other USB devices. Possible application I can think of is to create a connection with a USB wifi or wired NIC and then bridge that with the USB serial connection with SLIP/PPP that a Pocket PC can use for internet.
