what do i need to imlement an TCP/IP stack with STR710? I am looking at porting of uCLinux with TCP/IP functionality and the STE10/100 device. I would like to know if are there different way and more easy respect this. Tks
I'am very interested by your application, Could You please inform us what kind of design or development of TCP/IP on STR710 ? How will you connect STE10/100 ? If you Need 10Mbits or 100Mbits baud rate ?.... But It seems to me that STE10/100 is a bit complex to connect to STR710 as it has a PCI bus interface !

I guess there are very very interest around the TCP/IP implementation on STR7. I hope the moderators give us the information needed or other information in order to use STE or a different devices or solution.
I've just got my hardware (own design, not eval board) and is starting currently it up. We (the company I work for) have choosen the Davicom DM9000 as ethernet controller. It has a standard ISA bus which is very easy to interface to the ARM. I'm planning to use the lwIP TCP/IP stack which is an open source solution. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/ Regards /Beach/
the DM9000 is very interest. Regarding IwIP TCP/IP stack you have to make the porting for ARM. May be to easy to use a uCLinux porting in order to reuse the Linux driver for DM9000, am I right?
I think uCLinux is the best option, not just for reuse, but for what you can do after you have uCLinux running (gcc, tcp/ip stack, file system, etc). Hernán Sánchez
Just for clarification. I'm planning to use the lwIP TCP/IP stack and not uCLinux because I only want/need the TCP/IP stack. I dont need all the other OS stuff in the current project. Maybe I will have a look at the 'low_level' stuff in the DM9000 driver for the uCLinux to see how to initialize the chip. /Beach
