Resource Requirements of MCUs Running TCP/IP stacks

In this session, a comprehensive explanation of TCP/IP processes uses demonstrations and examples based on an H8S/2472 kit. The target MCU runs an application using a TCP/IP stack and a local Ethernet network. All layers of the TCP/IP stack are exercised by analysis tools on a PC with the discussions following the processes through each layer to provide an in-depth examination of TCP/IP from an embedded-system perspective. And because not every embedded system requires all TCP/IP protocol features, the session examines the impact of different protocol features on code size and performance. Configurable parameters are covered, including packet size, queue sizes (number of packets), timers and others that enable customized TCP/IP implementations. Special attention is given to the selection of configurations that optimize system performance.
