Hi
I'm looking into a design to convert from synchronous serial interface (SSI) to ethernet. The ethernet connection will be a direct, point to point connection and will probably use UDP. I have looked at the data sheet for the AT91RM9200 and it seems as though it may work. I'm new to ARM devices and also to embedded ethernet and would greatly appreciate if anyone could answer the following questions:
- What sustained data rates are possible when transferring data from the synchronous serial controllers to ethernet?
- Is it feasible to implement this functionality without running an OS on the processor?
Many thanks
