Product Description

Bringing together two areas of computer technology—networking and embedded systems—this developer's guide offers guidance and examples for each of these, with a focus on the special requirements and limits of embedded systems. Because developing an embedded system for networking requires knowledge from many areas, including circuit design, programming, network architecture, and Ethernet and Internet protocols, developers are given valuable technical information on each that can be put to use right away. Covered are the advantages and limits of using Ethernet to connect embedded systems in a local network, hardware and program code needed to connect an embedded system to an Ethernet network and the Internet, and how to build a network. Also discussed are how embedded systems can use TCP/IP and related protocols and how personal-computer applications can use the protocols to communicate with embedded systems. Developers will learn how their Web server's pages can include dynamic, real-time content and respond to user input.

Editorial Reviews

www.techbookreport.com
“A clearly written and useful volume for those who want to program embedded devices with Ethernet.”

Ed Nisley, columnist, Dr. Dobb's Journal (Embedded Space), Circuit Cellar (Above the Ground Plane)
“All of the details, plenty of examples, none of the hype. Jan shows how to build embedded networks that work!”

Steve Ciarcia, founder and editorial director, Circuit Cellar magazine
“Jan translates a tough subject into something both understandable and practical.”

Customer Reviews

A really good book5
If you want to build networked embedded devices but aren't sure where to begin, buy this book. To the "sorry excuse for a reviewer" below, who just blindly writes the same review for all of Jan Axelson's books, please at least bother to buy and read the books first before launching a campaign of lies against this author's books.

Sorry excuse for a book titled "complete"1
This book (and his others) do not cover things from a "complete" standpoint. If you are looking for a book to help you design hardware from scratch THIS IS NOT IT. All hardware and references to hardware are for off-the-shelf demo boards or OEM products. This book is more about writing software for *existing* hardware.

Lots of details, needs organization4
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jan's epic ethernet saga.
Having interfaced a Motorola 68HC12 (8/16 bitter) to a
Crystal Semi CS9000 Ethernet chip I can speak from experience
that you should buy vs build to get your web enabled product
out the door. My only complaint is that this book does not
cover the latest "ethernet components" like the Lantronix XPORT
or its clones. These are embedded ethernet appliance chips
and the wave of the future for low cost embedded controllers.

Nevertheless, this book forms a basic ethernet reference volume
I am happy to have on my bookshelf. If you liked Jan's previous
works on serial, parallel, or USB I/O you will enjoy this too!
