RTIP IPv4 Network Stack

TCP-IPv4 Network Stack

RTIP, EBSnet's TCP/UDP-IP network stack, is designed specifically for embedded systems to provide a socket interface to the TCP and UDP protocols and enable simultaneous communications over multiple interfaces.

Features

Overview

RTIP, EBSnet's TCP/UDP - IP network stack, is designed specifically for embedded systems to provide a socket interface to the TCP and UDP protocols and enable simultaneous communications over multiple interfaces. EBSnet's network stack has more than 1000+ design wins worldwide since 1994. RTIP is sophisticated enough to handle Wide Area Networking applications but is still compact and economical enough to be used in simple LAN applications. Regardless of the size of the embedded device, RTIP's low cost, clean implementation and high functionality have made it the networking solution for embedded device developers.

Networking Solutions For Embedded Developers

RTIP provides support for most 16-32 bit processors and can be ported to any CPU or RTOS. Drop-in solutions are available for several of the most popular operating systems and microprocessors including PowerPC, PowerQUICC II, MPC5200, Coldfire, ARM, XScale, Mitsubishi and MIPS. The RTIP protocol suite offers virtually every application protocol from basic file transfer to secure sockets; web server to email. RTIP is provided royalty free with full source code, and comprehensive documentation.

Embedded devices are diverse and demanding. EBSnet’s RTIP provides the networking capabilities with the structure options that developers want for their projects:

• Simple API
• Simple and well defined porting layer
• Deterministic and configurable memory usage
• Table driven device driver
• No required disk service
• No required external function library service

Functionality Highlights

Architecture:

• Pre-allocated data structure for link management fields
• Pre-allocated pointer to a data area
• OS independent queue data management
• Internal sliding window buffering

Memory:

• Compiler/linker allocates space for greatest portability
• Easily converts to runtime allocation scheme
• Abstracted memory allocation

Configurability:

• Protocols and features may be excluded to reduce ROM/RAM
• Variable number of sockets and interfaces available
• Variable buffer sizes, tables, timing parameters
• Constants may be modified at run time

Extreme Portability:

• Rapid prototyping with Windows or Linux
• Designed for quick and easy ports to new environments
• Simple porting layer
• Portable to any environment that supports a ‘C’ compiler
• Minimal number of OS services required
• OS services invoked through a well-defined set of modules
• Runs without real time kernel (POLLOS)
• Simple integration with existing applications
• Comprehensive set of example programs and regression tests
• Designed to run deeply in embedded applications with little or no console I/O capabilities
• Clear documentation
