--- Quote Start --- hi, im dannyjacobs' coworker, i have a few questions stemming from your post does uClinux have a built in TCP/IP stack like micro/os which comes with the nios dev kit? the LWip stack we are using now has dismal performance, even with the cpu clocked at 125 mhz we can get a max of 9mbit, while stacks like the nichestack are supposed to be able of 60 mbits and up also, you said that the nios IDE supports uClinux, so we should be able to DL uClinux and keep working in the nios IDE from altera? <div align='right'><{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=10296) --- Quote End --- [/b] --- Quote End --- Yes uClinux contains a stack. Whilst the performance you're getting with lwip is not the same as the quoted interniche numbers, you're not comparing apples with apples. The interniche stack has hardware acceleration. The lwip stack does have some performance faults, it can use copies for example, but most of the bottleneck is the lan91c111 MAC fitted to the board.
