16 years agoHi, good idea for this thread.
1. ucosii + interniche stack. Prices seem to be unique by client. It starts from 6000$ 2. "superloop" interniche. 250$. It seems doable if you are not afraid to modify sources. I had tried. In my opinion, this solution require many attention. 3. lwip. Not easy (for me), I was wasted in the outdated/unfinished websites. You have to know good knowledge with ethernet interface and other good skills... edit : i suggest to see billa's posts he posted a driver, example program, and how to build the latest lwIP (1.3.2) and the example program (thanks to Billa) 4. uclinux require 8MB for its kernel but it seems free, well documented, it provides FAT and others things. Good knowledges are recommended. 5. I add openrtos with integrated internichestack : from approx. 2800 $ for a single product, with approx. 1000$ for support. 6. eCOS (and eCos Pro). License are bases on time. I mean 6000$ for 6 months. Include lwIP stack with more functions (UDP, ICMP, ARP, DHCP, SLIP, PPP...) 7. 5in1 Ethernet package from Marc Colling. 6000€ for 1 project. 10 000€ for unlimited number of project. I have not looked at. NB : interniche stack for Nios provides TCP, TFTP, FTP by just modify "#define" in sources files. And it is just for ipv4. They provide IPV6 but it's an other license and other conception. NB2 :shown prices are very approx.
