I believe there is a port of lwIP to eCos.  It should provide for a
smaller footprint than the standard stack.

You could probably lower the data memory a little bit if you know you aren't going to have more than 1-2 sockets open at a time.

Why? You'd probably be better off asking stuff like this on the eCos mailing list [Or just searching the eCos mailing list]. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I know things about at TROY DONAHUE that can't visi.com even be PRINTED!!

I can't say about eCos, but our PowerNet system www.mpeltd.demon.co.uk/powernet.htm with multithreaded Telnet and web server fits into most ARMs in about 110k code. RAM usage is all about buffer space and other trade-offs, and whether the stack is general purpose or specialised. We're currently porting PowerNet to LPC2106 with 128k Flash and 64k RAM - I'll report performance/code/RAM figures when the port is complete.

Hi there,

    Anybody have experience in implementing an eCos TCP/IP stack on an ARM?
Is a footprint of 200k program memory and 120k data memory reasonable?
Seems a little high to me.  Without too much eCos experience, I might have
expected about half the program memory and 1/4 the data memory.
