Pinguino PIC32 + MOD-ENC624J600 10/100Mbps Ethernet

[bdk]

Hi

I wanted to ask if someone has had experience with the ENCx24j600 (ENC424J600 / ENC624J600) 10/100 Mbit Ethernet chips by Microchip.

In my specific case, I purchased the Olimex MOD-ENC624J600 (bought at Mouser electronics europe)

Supposedly it will work "out of the box" or nearly with Microchip TCP/IP Stack + the right #ifdefs + tunings
(this is what Olimex guys are saying :)


So, to avoid trying to reinvent any possibly existing wheel, after some research on-line I came up to this nice project:

  http://code.google.com/p/avr-butterfly-encx24j600-uip/

Basically it seems to me that this project can be considered as the ENCx24j600 successor of what we already have ported into Pinguino's Ethernet libraries
which are based on a similar AVR project which was created for ENC28J60 10 Mbit chip at:

  .../pinguinoX.3rev399/p32/include/pinguino/libraries/ethernet/


I'll try to have the thing working for the PIC32, however I have the feeling that JP Mandon and cooperators will be much more efficient in checking out / eventually porting the thing! :D

well, I'll let you know if I manage to have something working... I don't know if and in how much time...


JP / whoever reads this group: any observations?

best regards!
