Choosing an Ethernet stack
PostPosted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:05 pm     Reply with quote
CCS has code for an Ethernet stack, and so does Microchip. I imagine there are a lot more people working with the Microchip code than the CCS code. Yet I am a long time CCS user, and will now have to learn how to use Microchip's C18 if I want to use their code. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything regarding reliability, or features, of the respective code bases. This decision isn't a trivial one. Thanks for any input on this.

The CCS TCP/IP stack is actually the Microchip V3.75 stack that was ported by CCS. The only major code difference is the HTTP server, which is NOT the Microchip HTTP server.

Microchip has recenly (past couple of months) released their V4 stack. I believe it was a complete rewrite. They claim it is much more reliable than their V3 stack.

There's a pretty active group of users in the Microchip Ethernet forum.

I've been using the CCS version of the stack for about a year now for various products and have been quite happy with it.

The disadvantage with the Microchip stack (aside from fine print in the license) is that it break existing applications with each release of the stack. Ok to play with, hopeless to support.
