Hi, I want to make a USB ethernet device... where can I find resources as to programmable USB devices that can be purchased for prototyping... I dont want just the USB chip... is there some manufacturer that makes a full insertable USB device that Embedded Linux is known to work on? If so which ones are reccomended?
Thanks Lyle
Quite a number of small microcontrollers have onboard USB client and ethernet controllers nowdays. You can run uClinux on a lot of the intel IXP42x series quite painlessly. There are many others you can find. You can get manufactured USB->Ethernet converters, but I doubt they'd have full processors inside - buy a cheap one and open it up perhaps ?
regards,
