Prop on Ethernet - Magic Packet Generation
pacman
Posts: 327
Had a search and couldn't see any solutions...
Has anyone had any experience with the propeller (and the PropNIC or even 'raw' ENC28J60 chip) and magic packet generation?
I have a need for a simple (almost disposable) device that allows me to type in a MAC address {web page?} and then on a power rest generate a 'magic packet' to wake up a laptop computer. Once programmed this device then sits in a very far away place and just needs to do it's thing every time it is re-powered.
I have done some work with the Olimex version but I would rather now move to spin/propeller.
This also leads to the question, has anyone done a _real_ simple web server in a prop (and would they be kind enough to share) ?
Thanks in advance

There has been limited success in transmitting Ethernet packets over UTP directly from Propeller.

There have been web servers on Propeller using a separate device like ENC28J60, etc....
See this www.ladyada.net/make/ybox2/
Hope this helps.
