Stamps with Ubicom Ethernet SX stack?

Archiver

I was wondering if anyone had tried one of the SX based Stamps
with Ubicoms Ethernet SX stack?

They have a $99 eval kit which looks like it could be an easy way
to add TCP/IP and 10BaseT Ethernet connectivity to a Stamp but
I'm a little fuzzy on the details of how it might work.

I have seen PIC and Atmel based software alternatives (there is
several at Circuit Cellar like PicoWeb) as well as chip
alternatives from Seiko (who licensed the iReady chip) and the
iChip from ConnectOne, but the Ubicom would seem to be a
potentially good fit for SX based Stamps, especially the new
BSP!

Thanks,

Todd

p.s. Jon, good article in Nuts and Volts on the new BSP!

The "new stamps" haven't hit the market yet - as far as I'm aware.

I suspect, if it's possible, the larger (SX52-based) model would have to be
used, but I kind of doubt that's in the offing for now. I may WELL BE
WRONG, since I've only seen the SX28-based model.

Umm - well - yeah, since the BS-2SX series = Scenix processors, and Scenix
just became Ubicom : )

Thanks! ·It's really a great new Stamp.[/font]

The "new" Stamps, the BS2p-24 and BS2p-40, are built with the Scenix (now
Ubicom) SX48. ·This allows the BS2p to be faster than the BS2-SX, use less
current and have more I/O pins (on the 40-pin version).

Other features:
·-- parallel LCD support (for Hitachi HD44780)
·-- Dallas 1-Wire support
·-- I2C support
·-- STORE command allows unused program slots to act like big EEPROM
·-- Firmware interrupts (polling between PBASIC instructions)
·-- more scratchpad RAM (127 bytes total)

I'm told that the BS2p micros will be shipping in January.[/font]
