Anyone else spinning the Ethernet drivers?

Oldbitcollector (Jeff)

I'm curious if anyone else has tinkered with Harrison's latest Ethernet drivers?

I'm doing a re-write on the Propeller-based BBS system to support 40x23 color text.
I have the Ethernet terminal working and am in the process of reworking the BBS side.

The "api_telnet_serial" code is nearly drop-in compatible with "Full_Duplex_Serial"

Anyone playing with this?

- I did a bit with it a few months back ..and come back to it every now and then .... had hoped that 'Image Craft' propeller C would have been here by now - as there is a lot of C based routines for the enc28j60 and I was going to look at porting the original Microchip C code .. but alas it has not appeared as of yet ..

Before I got an EasyProp from Franz Achatz I was using a dip based enc28j60 in breadboard ... the easyprop makes it a lot easier to play ... especially as I tend to drift in/out of the ethernet stuff. Have used XPort modules for propeller based customer applications ... simplicity in itself .. negatives are of course· 1) relative cost and 2)they are a bit power hungry .. not that the enc28j60 is a miser either ..

Harrison has done a great job ... have been playing with his latest code over the christmas.

I don't use Harrisons driver. I rolled my own before I found out about his. But, I'm not trying to support TCP/IP, only UDP, ARP and Ping. The enc28J60 quite ok to work with and fast enough for the Propeller; you'd need to waste too many pins to make 100MHz Ethernet be of any benefit.
