TCP/IP stack on C2000?

Hi, I hadn't seen a response to this, but I think I know the answer -- the C2000 is limited in its ability to run a high-level OS like Linux, and therefore, running a TCP/IP stack on the C2000 would be impractical/impossible.

Please verify. Thanks!

Not at all!

A TCP/IP stack does not require any OS at all - let alone Linux!!

Even an 8051 can run a TCP/IP stack!!

This is interesting.

Are there any others out there that people know about?

Are there any 3rd party libraries available, or TI's libraries for C2000 TCP?

The minimum data width for the C28x is 16 bits, so it spend twice the sram to store bytes. For the same reason it is difficult to port the existing tcp-ip stacks.

That's what we did years ago:

I dont see the memory width as relevant. Any stack source would be in a C/C++ and so abstracted from the memory width. there are stacks out there for 8 bit processors!

The only limitation i would see is available SRAM, and in the higher end C2000 devices this wont be an issue.

Edwin,

This is great. Dare i ask how long ago you did this?!

Hi!

I left the University of Technology, Graz in 2007. A student and I did this I guess six years ago (the zip-files are dated Dec 2006).

Best regards and good luck with this stuff
