Ethernet to serial

kapil_p — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 07:30:58 GMT

Hi,

I want to develop a Ethernet to serial converter and new to Ethernet programming.

I am using IDE MCUXpresso and evaluation board FRDMk64F.

How to start and where I can find a example project of the Ethernet / TCP IP for FRDMK64F .

Thank you.

See links below - it contains (Telnet based) LAN <-> UART with end-to-end flow control.
It has been used in socket modems which do what you are asking for since 2006 [https://www.xmodus-systems.de/download/AL6000S/AL6000S-D00-112.pdf] and is available on all Kinetis parts with Ethernet or USB for RNDIS.

Hi,

You can find an example for the Ethernet TCP with the K64 at its SDK driver examples. You can download the SDK at the following link, where you will have to select the FRDMK64F board, and then the software components you would like to have: https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com/en/select. The following image show you what you should see before downloading the SDK (In my case, I've selected all the software components).

When you open MCUXpresso, you just have to:

1) Drag the downloaded compressed file at the "Installed SDKs".

2) Click on "Import SDK example" where you will select the K64 board.

3) Search and select the Ethernet TCP example.

Best Regards,

Ricardo Delsordo.
