W6100-EVB-Pico Support? #2338

Closed DavidGoedicke closed 3 weeks ago

DavidGoedicke commented 3 weeks ago

Hello I saw that library already support the W5100-EVB-PICO and W5500-EVB-PICO and was wondering if there is any support planned for the W6100-EVB-PICO.

As far as I can tell it's "just" a few different address registers but it is just above my head to make these changes myself.

I am super to help support and debug in any way I can, and I 'd really appreciate your help.

There is a branch for the 6100 on the WIZnet Github page. It is some years old. https://github.com/Wiznet/Ethernet/tree/W6100

Note that the w6100 provides lots of new services, but we wouldn't use any of it at all.

All the IP stack lives inside the Pico. The Ethernet adapters are simply Ethernet packet send/receive units and any intelligence in them is not used. A W5100/W5500 may be less expensive and give the same functionality here (we support IPV4/V6 natively on all Ethernet devices, for example).

Thanks for the response! I will go and find the W5100/W5500 boards alternatively.

Thanks for the great tool!

I think we can close this issue for now?!
