Communication over Ethernet ?

[#1]

In the past I have used Lantronix hardware modules on pcb's to convert data over Ethernet to UART data into 8051 micros. A PC transmits simple text commands to the pcb and the PCB replies.

I would like to make use of the XMC4500 Ethernet capabilities in a similar way.

I have virtually zero knowledge about Ethernet data transfer protocols but would like some advice on possible methods and Apps to use. Possibly ETH004 ?

Thank you in advance

Hi Aaron Walsh,

You can make use of UDP and there is an example on this..

Please continue your questions from the above mentioned thread and I will follow up with you from there.
