Interfacing TLK100 with AVR

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2500, TLK100

Hi, I am designing a half duplex wireless ethernet link which provides a transparent LAN interconnection pipe  as my university project. I plan to use TLK100 to interface with the ethernet and read the data coming out through its TXD pins using an AVR  , send it wirelessly ,using CC2500 RF transciever and at the other end after receiving the data, send it to the ethernet port through the RXD pins of TLK 100. I think that in this case a MAC is not necessary and the  management (data &serial configuration) of the PHY could be done by the AVR.

Is this possible??? Please Help me...

    Hello,

    Sorry for my late response.

    We are not fully aligned with the overall system purpose therfore I will appriciate if you will send us simple block diagram that describes the system.

    Generally the MAC is required for the Ethernet frame interpretation and not for the management of the data bits themselves.
    However, if you establishing Ethernet connection you must have some MAC on the system Unless you are just dealing with the PHY level.

    Does the link is up on the cable during the process?

    Does the wireless connection is replacing the cable link or is it done in parallel?

    When you refer to AVR is it some kind of microcontroller? can you please elaborate more information about it?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Ofir Ben Joseph.
