Hi Funny et al,
I think you're getting a bit confused - the MSP430, for instance, does not
support USB. The development board you linked to is basically a USB-serial
bridge (plus some proprietary debugging protocol) plus a MSP430 plus a
wireless chip. But the MSP430 itself is not USB-enabled.
So it would definitely be feasible to put some basic PIC onto a USB form
factor board and connect it to the PC via a serial link, but I'm not sure
what the benefit of this would be.
Rgds,
