TCP/IP Stack for FIDO 1100 Flexible Microcontroller

Innovasic Semiconductor announced the availability of a TCP/IP stack for its new FIDO 1100 (Flexible Input Deterministic Output) microcontroller.

With this TCP/IP stack, users can configure FIDO’s Universal I/O Controllers to communicate with other devices using the IP protocol. Each one of fido's four UICs is a dedicated RISC engine, which can be programmed to support a variety of I/O protocols. This allows fido to be used in multiple designs with different I/O requirements.

The FIDO embedded TCP/IP stack supports:

• BOOTP,
• DHCP,
• TELNET,
• FTP,
• TFTP,
• POP3,
• SMTP,
• IMAP4,
• HTTP 1.0/1.1,
• TCP,
• UDP,
• IP,
• ICMP,
• IGMP,
• ARP,
• Ethernet,
• SNTP client,
• DNS client

In the fido1100, each UIC can be programmed to support 10/100 Ethernet (with MAC address filtering), two UARTs (16550 type), SMBus, Smart GPIO (up to 18-bits per UIC), SPI, I2C and even customer proprietary protocols.

The TCP/IP stack will be included in the release of Evaluation Design Kits shipping in January 2007.
