Serial to ethernet?

Mar 05, 2007 5 Replies

I am using the DS89C450 mcu and would like to find the easiest/quickest solution to use TCP/IP. I was thinking of just using a ttl serial to ethernet converter?? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.


Lantronix XPort.

Wiznet series of chips. They have quite a few 8051 based development kits and example code.

I agree. This looks like a great solution.

Meindert - Have you worked with this device? Did you just get the device or the development kit? If you got the development kit, is it pretty well put together?

Thanks.

Yes, I have used it in one of my products, but that product is not on the market yet.

Yes, the driver can be downloaded from their website and for the development kit you ave to sign an NDA. But all is free. You have to supply the compiler yourself if you want to make custom code for the unit. But for a simple serial wire replacement into a point-to-point TCP/IP link it works almost out of the box. You just have to configure the units though it's web interface.

Can't say, I haven't used that yet.
