Maybe you can rephrase your question so I can parse it?

What exactly are you looking for?

USB is just a protocol to attach external devices, so depending on which sort of devices this is there may be methods to download a kernel. For example, if it's a USM memory stick, then you will probably have a file system on it, and you can use one of the file system access methods to list or load a file.
