TCPIP Stack Updates

The document describes modifications made to the Microchip MLA TCP-IP stack to support the Cerebot MX7cK processor board. Key changes include allowing UART communications to use UART1, using the LCDlib library for the LCD interface instead of bit-banging, and rewriting various files in the TCPIP stack and libraries to implement these changes.

Microchip MLA TCP-IP modifications

Richard W. Wall
University of Idaho
December 4, 2013
The following modifications to the Microchip MAL 6/2013 version target the Cerebot
MX7cK Processor board. The major revisions allow STACK_USE_UART to be defined in
TCPIP ETH795.h and directs all UART communications to the UART1 as provided on
the CEREbot MX7cK. This version of the TCPIP Stack also uses the PMP for the LCD
interface provided by LCDlib.c and LCDlib.h instead of the bit-banging interface
provided by LCDBlocking.c and LCDBlocking .h.
Project file changes
Under Headers/TCPIP Stack folder, remove LCDBlocking.h and add LCDlib.h
Under the Source/TCPIP Stack folder, remove LCDBlocking.h and add LCDlib.h
