CC3200MOD: Simple Link for Both Wireless (WiFi )and wired ( ENC28j60 )

Part Number: CC3200MOD
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3120, CC3200

Hi,

I have a requirement in my project Wifi and Wired Ethernet connection also. But both are used for different application / process. I am using ENC28j60 external ethernet chip for ethernet interface. Now my Question is, We already have "SimpleLink"  TCP/IP stack  with mutex support and why not use simplelink code for both interface ? Or I should add external TCP/IP stack ?

If it is possible and any one have a information on this implementation , please share here.

    Hi,

    TCP/IP stack is integrated inside network processor and cannot be used with external Ethernet MAC/PHY. SimpleLink driver is "only" interface for communication with NWP.
    If you want to use ENC28j60 with CC3200MOD, you need to use software TCP/IP stack in application processor (Cortex-M4). I think best option for WiFi + wired Ethernet application is to use MSP432E4 + CC3120. With this combination you will be able use new unified network abstraction layer. This layer is supported only at 2nd generation (CC3120, CC3220).

    Thanks for you information. this  MSP432E4 MCU will be a extra cost for our project. And this is too big cpu for this task and cost also around $9. 

    So anywhere else anyone tried ENC28j60 with C3200 and any SW TCP/IP stack, please give me a reference.

    fastmahesh,

    Did this answer your question? We do not have a reference for the ENC chip and CC3200.
