HOWTO connect the Microchip enc28j60 module
|
||
|
|
===========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's possible to to add Ethernet to most microcontrollers having a SPI inter-
|
||
|
|
face. In the Atmel world the SPI pins are used for the ISP programming. Usually
|
||
|
|
a 6-pin header. Named MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS (Chup Select), Vcc, GND
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One popular Ethernet chip is Microchip ENC28J60. It been used for quite some
|
||
|
|
time and is easy to program and are also supported by many platforms and
|
||
|
|
projects. Contiki has files under:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most focus fon AVR platforms. The SPI is used by Atmel ISP-progammings
|
||
|
|
interface. In addition to those pins you to selects a pin for chip
|
||
|
|
select (CS).

The low-level SPI drives is platform or rather CPU-specific. The avr-rss2
|
||
|
|
platform adds the low-level drivers for Atmel.

|
This should be usable on most 8-bit avr platforms.

The power consumption might be a problem. The enc28j60 consumes 160mA at 3.3V
|
||
|
|
when transmitting. The LDO (voltage reg. LP2950) on the mote can only handle
|
||
|
|
100mA. So external power is needed. Below is a description of a prototype.

CS is connected to external temp sensor middle pin. Consequently the
|
||
|
|
external temp sensor can not be used in this application.
