My hello to all members out there. I have great interest in embedde systems and networking, and have worked on an 8051-based platform for ove
2 years as part of my Master's research (C programming).
Unfortunately, my job (first job ever) doesn't have anything to do wit embedded so I want to start a whole home project of a system from th ground up, using embedded systems, coding every single part of it, t build data pipes on network protocols. I want to start off slow, buildin my own TCP/IP stack, adding protocols to it, then changing and addin protocols, both below and above the TCP / IP stack, bypassing the stack a times as well.
My goals are to implement, ethernet, 802.11 (not the RF part, all th logic part), 802.16e, VoIP, over a long time. My tools will be embedde platforms running RTOS as well as VHDL code synthesized onto FPGAs.
I am undecided on how to start, what to set as my short term goal, wha hardware and software to select, where to do my research, fin documentation on protocols and where to learn.
If anyone has any idea, could help out in any way, (guidance, suggestion etc..) it would be very much appreciated.
My expected outcome from the project is to learn RTOS concepts, an protocol implementation concepts on embedded systems.
