Adding an Ethernet Interface

Post by doublevee » Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:53 pm

I am looking to add an Ethernet interface to my MP based product. I am currently using a 32F411 and serial over USB for comms.

I would ideally like to use a different ST MCU with native Ethernet support so have been looking at 32F407 for example.

For me, this would be a cleaner solution than using an SPI connection to a WizNet 5500, for example.

I would be interested in people’s views on how they have approached this situation previously.

I connected an ethernet port to a PyBoard at one point, but I did it with a WizNet. As I recall, it worked perfectly. I actually got a second WizNet device after that, a different model. I can't remember what the difference or purported advantage of the second model was. I never got around to wiring it up.

As your question pertaining to alternative approaches, I have no input. Sorry. :-) Just responding to say the WizNet worked fine when I tested it.
