This wiki describes the development of Ethernet Module.

Architecture

  • See here for block diagram


Development Roadmap

Phase 1

  • Select chips and draw schematic and pcb
  • Obtain samples for chip

Phase 2

  • Device driver
  • Create a Linux socket API wrapper in freertos_posix

Phase 3

  • Reference to Linux socket/lwip, create libraries for
    • DHCP client
    • HTTP server
      • Decide how to get files (html, css, cgi, etc) from nvm (with/without file system)
      • Decide an efficient means to create and download web page to nvm
    • DNS resolver
    • SMTP mail client
    • SNMP agent
    • TELNET application

Phase 4


Software TCP/IP Stack Solution

Software Implementation

Driver

  • Download dm9000a.c
  • Download dm9000a.h
  • Base on FreeRTOS and dsPIC33 platform
  • Using POSIX-like API:
    • int dmfe_open(int flags): initialize the Ethernet controller for 10MHz Half-Duplex
    • int dmfe_close(): turn off the PHY layer
    • int dmfe_read(void): copy a packet to the default buffer
    • int dmfe_write(unsigned char device, unsigned char *buf, int count): copy count bytes of the data from buf and transmit
    • void dmfe_interrupt(void): process the transmit interrupt from DM9000A

uIP

  • Light-weight TCP/IP stack designed for 8-bit/16-bit embedded systems

lwIP

  • Light-weight TCP/IP stack designed for 8-bit/16-bit embedded systems
  • Consume more resource than uIP
