Ethernet on Embedded System

You might look at the IBM PowerPC 405 series CPUs. AMCC is now responsible for this line now but the part is fast, has a built in MAC which you could set to receive all frames, and can use cheap PC133 SDRAM chips or SRAM if you don't need much memory.

Take a look at our dev boards....www.netburner.com

If you are looking for a CPU, try the Motorola Coldfire parts at the low end of the product line 10/100 MAC and 32 bit processor can be had for < $9.00

Look at the Motorola PowerPC MPC8xx processors. They have what you are looking for, in many flavors. Look around, you'll find boards, perhaps even reasonably priced.

You may look ar

There are plenty of ARMs with integrated Ethernet controllers, and the Samsung S3C4510B is one we have used. This chip is used in many of the cheap four port routers. It can be had for less than US$7.50 in volume.

As for boards, contact me by email (remove XXX and INVALID.) and I'll see if our client can supply you.

Hello Stephen,

Do you know of a source that will supply the 4510B in one or two qty. I have someone looking for some.

I get mine from an Australian client.

We got the dev board from WBC (???) in the UK, so I expect they have proto quantities as well.

But too bad they have no integrated PHY => always a 2 chip solution.

_Or_: Are the RJ connectors which include everything but the MAC ?
