Benefits
TCP/IP (Transport Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is the most popular networking protocol.
Features
µC/TCP-IP, is Micrium's implementation of the propular netowrking protocol. It is a portable, ROMable,
scalable, modular networking protocol for microprocessors
and microcontrollers. µC/TCP-IP provides the following features:
- BSD v4 Sockets
- Micrium Sockets for more error management
- UDP only or TCP and UDP as Trasnport layer protocol (scalability)
- Buffer Management (Small and Large buffers - scalability)
- Timer Management (Time-outs)
- RTOS interface layer
- Debug option
- Argument checking option
- Statistics collection and reporting option
- Highest coding standards in the industry
- Third Party Certification
- MISRA C compliant
Source Code
µC/TCP-IP comes with ALL the source code. In fact,
the source code is probably the cleanest and most consistent code
of any TCP-IP stack. All services provided by µC/TCP-IP starts
with the prefix 'net'. This makes it easier to know that the functions
refer to protocol stack services in your application. Also, the services
are neatly grouped by categories: net_arp_???() relate to Address Resolution Protocol, net_ip_???() relate
to Internet Protocol functions, net_tcp_???() relate to Transport Control Protocol etc.
Third Party Certification
A validation suite is being developed for µC/TCP-IP and
provides all the documentation necessary to prove that µC/TCP-IP is
suitable for Safety Critical Systems common to Aviation and Medical
products. Although this feature may not be applicable to your needs,
it does prove that µC/TCP-IP is a VERY robust protocol stack.
MISRA C Compliance
The source code for µC/TCP-IP follows the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) C Coding
Standards. These standards were created by MISRA to improve the reliability and predictability of C programs in
critical automotive systems. Members of the MISRA consortium include Delco Electronics, Ford Motor Company,
Jaguar Cars Ltd., Lotus Engineering, Lucas Electronics, Rolls-Royce, Rover Group Ltd., and other firms and universities
dedicated to improving safety and reliability in automotive electronics. Full details of this standard can be obtained
directly from the MISRA web site, http://www.misra.org.uk.
Applications
Micrium provides the most current applications and services used to operate an IP network.
These applications and services are options that are added to the basic µC/TCP-IP stack.
