TCP/IP stack comes with Windows setup wizard: News from Computer Solutions

Note: Readers of the Editor’s free email newsletter will have read this news when it was announced. . It’s free!

A Windows-based configuration wizard which eases the setting up of TCP/IP parameters for use with 8 and 16bit microprocessors is now available from Computer Solutions. The new interface, which is integrated with the CMX-MicroNet high-level TCP/IP stack, allows the multiple options of a TCP/IP configuration to be easily set and the necessary initialisation code created. CMX-MicroNet will work with virtually all 8 and 16bit processors with minimal RAM and ROM requirements.

The stack executes directly on the microcontroller, where support is available for dial-up or direct serial connection as well as Ethernet links.

No proprietary protocols, intermediate gateways or special hardware are required to use it.

The system can operate in stand-alone mode or in conjunction with an RTOS.

It provides support for multiple sockets, UDP, TCP, SLIP, modem and IP.

Options are available to support PPP, BOOTP, SMTP (post), DHCP (client), TFTP and FTP servers and HTTP web server.

CPUs currently supported include 8051, PIC18, M16C, C16X, AVR, eZ80, Z80/Z180, 78K0, 78K0S, H8/300H, H8S, 51-XA and V850.

Source code is supplied, and no licence fee is required to create unlimited ROMs for a single application.

To support users wishing to develop TCP/IP applications in small embedded systems, Comsol has produced a free applications guide "An introduction to TCP/IP for 8 and 16bit embedded engineers".
