USB to Ethernet

Hello good folks,

Any thoughts for USB to ethernet chipset?

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php

http://www.k-micro.us/USB/downloads.htm

http://www.moschip.com/html/MCS7830.html

I tried rabbit gadget for serial2ethernet before and it was awesome,
very good because of tcp/ip library and few lines of code were enough
to make it work and customize. Any thing like that for usb2ethernet ?

Sure, rabbit do have poor interactive support but their ducumentation
and example code was wonderful;-)


regards,
ali

You might specify if you want a USB device, or a USB host.

If a USB host, what sort of USB devices will be connected to it?

If you want USB device to ethernet, then the STR9 Comstick might fit
the bill.

Certainly it will be USB device and it is working fine when connected
to host (PC). At the moment I'm not sure what USB(1/1/1.1/2.0) it is,
as that device will arrive in next week.

Anton, thanks for that. Do they have any *nix like OS for their
ARM966E ? cann't see on their web. Frankly this looks good but I don't
want to have a tank for mouse hunt;-)

thanks,
ali

I have not used the Comstick as such, but I believe they have some
sort og open source RTOS port that includes the TCP/IP stack. These
ARM9s from ST does not have a MMU, hence is not really suitable for
*nix. For that you have products from Atmel and NXP AFAIK.

Anton, thanks for followup. Actually my device is fully functional
when connected to host (PC). Now, we want to provide web interface and
thats it. We don't expect any extra favour from usb2tcp/ip module
(sure, few extra I/O pins would be great but not necessary).

Device is RFID reader and some times it will just send small packets,
but, some times it will be continues data stream (for example, audio/
video).  I wonder if i can find some device without an OS and acting
just like a pipe while moving data back and forth;-)

I don't know any thing from Atmel or NXP  for usb2ethernet , let me
check their web.

Got something interesting here http://www.davicom.com.tw/eng/products/dm9601.htm

But its only compliant with USB1.1;-)

The AVR32 based AT32AP7000 has high speed USB and 10/100 Ethernet
and runs Linux.

Anyone interested in the AVR32 should also check the online videos at
www.avrtv.com. This chip is awesome and the dev boards are cheap.
They've broken out these devices into the strong application
processors (AP7), and the smaller control oriented processors (UC3 and
UCB).

The Network Gateway Kit (basically a mini-router with 2 Ethernet and 1
USB) is very high powered at a super low price:
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?family_id=682&family_name=AVR32+32%2Dbit+MCU%2FDSP&tool_id=4102

Although I'm not into embedded linux at this time, if I decide to go
down that road I'll want to know that a hardware vendor is interested
in supporting a linux BSP for that device/board, and Atmel is
definitely into doing that. Some other vendors only grudingly admit
that linux can work on their devices and they may have an old BSP they
made a few years ago and never updated.
