USB to Ethernet

You might specify if you want a USB device, or a USB host.

If a USB host, what sort of USB devices will be connected to it?

If you want USB device to ethernet, then the STR9 Comstick might fit the bill.

Regards Anton Erasmus

Certainly it will be USB device and it is working fine when connected to host (PC). At the moment I'm not sure what USB(1/1/1.1/2.0) it is, as that device will arrive in next week.

Anton, thanks for that. Do they have any *nix like OS for their ARM966E ? cann't see on their web. Frankly this looks good but I don't want to have a tank for mouse hunt;-)

thanks, ali

I have not used the Comstick as such, but I believe they have some sort og open source RTOS port that includes the TCP/IP stack. These ARM9s from ST does not have a MMU, hence is not really suitable for

*nix. For that you have products from Atmel and NXP AFAIK.

Regards Anton Erasmus

Anton, thanks for followup. Actually my device is fully functional when connected to host (PC). Now, we want to provide web interface and thats it. We don't expect any extra favour from usb2tcp/ip module (sure, few extra I/O pins would be great but not necessary).

Device is RFID reader and some times it will just send small packets, but, some times it will be continues data stream (for example, audio/ video). I wonder if i can find some device without an OS and acting just like a pipe while moving data back and forth;-)

I don't know any thing from Atmel or NXP for usb2ethernet , let me check their web.

Got something interesting here

But its only compliant with USB1.1;-)

The AVR32 based AT32AP7000 has high speed USB and 10/100 Ethernet and runs Linux.

Anyone interested in the AVR32 should also check the online videos at

This chip is awesome and the dev boards are cheap. They've broken out these devices into the strong application processors (AP7), and the smaller control oriented processors (UC3 and UCB).

The Network Gateway Kit (basically a mini-router with 2 Ethernet and 1 USB) is very high powered at a super low price:

Although I'm not into embedded linux at this time, if I decide to go down that road I'll want to know that a hardware vendor is interested in supporting a linux BSP for that device/board, and Atmel is definitely into doing that. Some other vendors only grudingly admit that linux can work on their devices and they may have an old BSP they made a few years ago and never updated.

Ok, good folks. Lets make it simple, what is the best thing to hook with ominvision gadgets ? Ofcourse in terms of cost and efficiency!

Eric, thanks for input but honestly I don't know why, but somehow i want to avoid an OS. maybe I'm wrong but device having/capable of an OS is costly indeed with ample amount of flash and overhead of development.

The AVR32 has High Speed USB and a CMOS Imager integrated (as well as Ethernet). The Network Gateway kit is sub $100 gcc toolset + AVR32 Studio is free.

A JTAGICE MK II is handy...

Can you please post a URL to one of the AVR32's that has an integrated imager? I can't any on the Atmel website.

Clifford Heath.

AP7000 has an *interface* to an imager. Sorry about confusion
