I'm working on developing a DeviceNet product, and I've a feeling I'm in deep trouble when reading the DeviceNet spec. In one section the authors refer to "8-bit octets", "16-bit octets", and "N*8-bit octets". WTF? The word "octet" was introduced to mean a chunk of _exactly_ 8 bits so that the word "byte" could denote a architecture dependant chunk containing a quantity of bits other t...

Are there any recommendations for 8051 DeviceNet driver source code for a slave device? We are presently using Silicon Labs 8051 and the Keil compiler and tools. Silicon labs had a link to a supplier but they are no longer support the Silicon Labs 8051 for some reason. I don't mind paying for quality. Thanks, Peter Nachtwey
