My suspicion is that the IP stack won't be that concise! Enough code to send IPv4 UDP packets should be quite small, but you'll need something to give the system it's IP address. OTOH if you avoid all of libc, you can do quite useful stuff using internal memory. --- Quote End --- hi, dsl: you mean I can use the on-chip memory if ....? Could you give me more guidance according the spec. of cyciii and my project ?
