TouchGfx widget internet connectivity

[DOkaz.1]

Hi,

I want to connect a display powered by TouchGFX to a PC via usb-c. Is it possible to allow internet connectivity for a GUI widget via the usb-c connection to the host PC?

Thanks!

TouchGFX dont have prepared widget , but your code can use internet your way.

How would the widget connect to the internet? does the board require its own TCP/IP stack chip? or is there a way todo like REST API calls or some other way to communicate over the internet?

Just trying to figure out if there is some pre-existing infrastructure that I can use or if it would need to be coded from scratch. or require some external hardware

Thanks!

Why not board or STM with ethernet ? Is more simple as USB C

STM32 Nucleo Boards - STMicroelectronics

The usecase I have will only have a usb-c port as its interface, so having a full ethernet port would be a lot easier but wouldn't fit in the overall design

Then yes STM have in USB CDC ECM and NDIS... Examples on github
