Hello,
I am new to the embedded systems development.Have no idea at all of how to develop a driver code in C language for Ethernet communication between PIC32X795F512L and DP83848C (external Physical transceiver chip). My ultimate aim is to develop a webpage and control the functions of the board using the webpage.
Could any one kindly help me with the basics as I found it really tough reading the reference manual of Ethernet in PIC32MX .
I have done the SPI interfacing, but then, there the reference manual contained the steps of operation etc in detail and the SPI protocol also was not complex as Ethernet I feel.
How to start with the coding?
What are the basic steps of operation?
Where does the TCP/IP come into play?
How do I include a HTML page which has to be displayed, using which I can control the different functions?
I am using the PIC32 Starter Kit IDE and PIC32 Ethernet Starter kit board.I found a sample code after the installation named :Ethernet - TCPIP-BSD - HTTP Server Demo - PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit.mcp.
I was able to successfully run the sample code on the PIC32 Ethernet starter kit alone.But I do not know how to modify the code so as to run on our custom developed board as I couldn't follow any line in the sample code.
Finding it really tough to even gather the basics.Kindly provide an overview of what is to be done.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
