We're looking for an ethernet interface chip that will do the PHY through TCP/IP stuff, and talk to our embedded application uP. The Lantronix Xport is kind of slow, since it uses a serial interface at
240 kbaud max.The Rabbit stuff is huge (plus needs a separate PHY chip) and expensive.
This is interesting... apparently the chip that's used inside the Xport. We could reprogram it to allow our uP to directly address the transmit and receive buffers:
So, do you guys know of any other small, integrated ethernet+CPU chips that can run the tcp/ip stacks and do a fairly high-speed interface to another uP?
