Hi every One

I am wondering, can i use Emac(ethernet) on Hercules without RTOS (SafeRtos, FreeRTOS...)? (just CCS with Ethernet Driver)

I researched on the internet and i saw HALCoGen Ethernet Driver, but does it have limitations of " Demonstration" version?

If anyOne know, please give me imformation.

Thanks for your time.

Hello,

The lwIP example code included with HalCoGen is an adaptation of the open source lwIP code from savannah.nongnu.org/.../. given this it is not certified code nor is it safety compliant. To be utilized within a safety application, it would need to be vetted by the customer/integrator.

In regard to use of EMAC/Ethernet without an RTOS, I do not see any reason why it would require an RTOS but I do believe it would need some form of periodic servicing and management of notifications. This implementation detail is up to the system design.
