How fast are you talking about USB (I2C based) goes up 12 Mb/sec. No way, no how is USB "I2C based." There are a couple of chips that implement the USB serial engine, and these chips talk to a microcontroller over I2C, but that's not the same as "USB (I2C based)." Two other reasons for not using USB here: a) USB has one master and multiple targets, which means that one of his micros has to be the USB master and the other is the target. In this case, the two micros can't be "equally important," since there's no way the target device can tell the host that it's got data. The host must poll. And you need to implement a full host stack, which is very complex. b) If he's balking at any hardware more expensive than some 74xx devices, no way will he be able to do USB -to- USB. -a |
