Microchip has announced the expansion of its Ethernet software and support for embedded systems designers, including the addition of secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption to its free TCP/IP stack and a new TCP/IP configuration wizard to simplify the configuration of Ethernet projects.
Embedded engineers are increasingly taking advantage of Ethernet connectivity, and these additions to Microchip’s support offering are designed to make it easy for them – whether they are using 8-, 16- or 32-bit PIC microcontrollers or dsPIC digital signal controllers. All of these new design tools are available now from Microchip’s Ethernet Application Design Centre at www.microchip.com/Ethernet.
The stack supports both client and server functionality, while providing 128-bit ARCFOUR encryption for bulk data transfers. Additionally, it utilises the industry-standard SSLv3 protocol to secure any TCP connection, while building in support for the HTTP web server and SMTP e-mail client modules.
The TCP/IP configuration wizard is a new tool that allows developers to get started quickly by selecting the desired stack features (eg web server or e-mail client), as well as associated configuration parameters. The appropriate number of TCP and UDP sockets can be automatically set, while the wizard verifies that no design rules are being violated before modifying the stack’s configuration file.
