About the ethernet using uCLinus

The reference design of ethernet is based on lwip and uc/os-ii, since uc/os-ii is not free, I am planning to use uCLinux as the OS.

Is it very difficult to develop ethernet on uCLinux?

    I'm not sure what your question is.

    But if you ask if it is difficult to get ethernet working in uClinux:

    No it works pretty much out-of-the-box if you follow the tutorial.

    If you ask if it is difficult to write your own program using ethernet under uClinux:

    Not easier or harder then it is to write one on a "regular" pc. try googling for it, there are loads of excellent tutorials on this!

    Hope this answers your questions...
