Ethernet protocol stack

Embedded systemen often have to communicate with the outside world. If the unit needs to be remotely controlled, it is possible to provide a network adapter. That allows a connection to the existing Local Area Network (LAN).

To handle the TCP/IP protocol, a software stack is required.

We can provide hardware solutions, that combined with the TCP/IP software stack forms a complete solution. We already have used this in a number of applications.
In one application, a 60MHz ARM7 controller works with a sustained throughput of 11Mbit/s, which is considered quite fast for this controller.

Available protocols

• IP (Internet Protocol)
• ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
• UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
