Network Drivers
HCC provides the following general purpose network drivers:
| Driver | Description |
|---|---|
| Network | Base network driver design, independent of any particular higher level stack. |
| Loopback Driver | Useful for testing when working with the real remote application is not possible. |
| PPP | Point to Point Protocol, lets you set up a network connection over a serial link to a remote network stack. |
HCC provides also network drivers for the following MCUs / Ethernet controllers:
| Driver | MCUs / Ethernet controllers |
|---|---|
| Atmel EMAC | Ethernet Media Access Controller (EMAC) core in Atmel® SMART microcontrollers. These are produced by Microchip Technology Inc. |
| CDC-ECM | CDC-ECM (Control Device Class - Ethernet Control Model). This implements the Ethernet driver for HCC's USB Host CDC-ECM Class Driver. |
| ENC624J600 | Microchip ENC624J600 standalone Ethernet controller. This is a standalone 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface controller with integrated MAC & PHY, hardware cryptographic security engines, and a factory pre-programmed unique MAC address |
| Freescale EtherNet IP | EtherNet/IP™ devices from Freescale™ Semiconductor Inc (now NXP). These include i.MX 6 and all Ethernet-capable Kinetis microcontrollers. |
| GMAC MAC | Xilinx (AMD)® Zynq® and Microchip Technology Inc. Atmel® SMART microcontrollers that have a GMAC MAC core. |
| LPC | Ethernet-capable LPC microcontrollers from NXP Semiconductors. |
| Microchip ATWINC1500 | ATWINC1500 is an IEEE 802.11 IoT network controller. It provides Wi-Fi and network capabilities through the SPI-to-Wi-Fi interface. The ATWINC1500 connects to any SAM or PIC MCU with minimal resource requirements. |
| Microchip LAN7500 and LAN9500 | LAN7500 High Speed USB 2.0 to 10/100/1000 Ethernet Controllers and LAN9500 USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet Controllers. These devices are produced by Microchip Technology Inc. (formerly SMSC). |
| Microchip PIC32 | Microchip Technology Inc. PIC32 32 bit microcontrollers. |
| Renesas | Renesas standalone Ethernet controllers. Supported MCUs include the SuperH SH-2A and SH7260 series. |
| STR912 | STR912xx on-chip ENET Ethernet controllers from STMicroelectronics. |
| Synopsys | Synopsys® Ethernet IP core (that is, for devices including STM32, LPC435x, and XMC4xxx). This core is widely used in both MCUs and System on Chip (SOC) solutions. |
| TI EMAC | Hercules RM46, RM48, and TMS570 microcontrollers from Texas Instruments Incorporated and other TI devices that use the similar Ethernet controller IP. |
| TI NDK | Network driver that allows interfacing of HCC's USB Device RNDIS or CDC-ECM class drivers to the Texas Instruments Network Developer's Kit (NDK) TCP/IP stack |
| USB | USB devices. This provides virtual Ethernet links for the Communications Device Class - Ethernet Control Module (CDC-ECM) and Remote Network Driver Interface Standard (RNDIS) device classes. This HCC driver can be used for any device in these device classes. |
| Xilinx (AMD) Zynq 7000 Gigabit Ethernet | Xilinx (AMD)® Zynq® 7000 Gigabit Ethernet. Tested with Xilinx (AMD) XC7Z020-1CLG484C Zynq-7000 AP SoC but supports similar devices. |
