 weelll... the first easily-achievable way to do that is to use any
SoC with USB-OTG.  the other way is using a DisplayLink IC.  but, both
ways _do_ need some amounts of RAM otherwise you severely saturate the
USB bus and/or overload the main processor.  DisplayLink's first IC
does very basic 2D primitives (line, rectangle, image) which is a
half-way compromise.  the second (which is USB3) i don't know exactly
what they do.

 ... yes been thinking quite a lot how to do this, joe :)
