There are TCP/IP Ethernet stacks that are designed to run without on OS. My personal experience is with the PIC32MX and PIC32MZ, using the Ethernet stack included in their 'Harmony' software support package.
There are likely Ethernet stacks for the high end ARM processors that have GMII interfaces, but I have not used them. If you are going to be doing any sophisticated TCP/IP interaction, you may want to consider keeping the OS on the Sitara, and do a hardware design that isolates the realtime counter portion of the design from the OS timing issues. As TJF suggested, use one or both PRUs for the real time stuff, and keep the OS for the things it does well. Or use some of the counter capability in the Sitara peripherals. --- Graham == -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
