Introduction to ARM Cortex, TCP/IP, and Ethernet

What is ARM Cortex-M3?

The Cortex family of ARM processors provides a range of solutions optimized around
specific market applications across the full performance spectrum.
Cortex underlines ARM's strategy of aligning technology around specific market
applications and performance requirements.
The ARM Cortex family is comprised of three series, which all implement the Thumb-2
instruction set to address the increasing performance and cost demands of various
markets:

ARM Cortex-A Series

Applications processors for complex OS and user applications.

Supports the ARM, Thumb and Thumb-2 instruction sets.

ARM Cortex-R Series

Embedded processors for real-time systems.

Supports the ARM, Thumb, and Thumb-2 instruction sets

ARM Cortex-M Series

Deeply embedded processors

optimized for cost sensitive applications.

Supports the Thumb-2 instruction set only

Note:
ARM Code 32-bit
Thumb Code 16-bit
Thumb-2 Code mostly 16-bit & some 32-bit (25% Faster, 26% Smaller)

What is Ethernet?

Ethernet refers to the family of local-area network (LAN) products covered

by the IEEE 802.3 standard that defines what is commonly known as the
CSMA/CD protocol

Five data rates are currently defined for operation over optical fiber and
twisted-pair cables:

10Base-T Ethernet (1 Mbps/10 Mbps )

Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps )

Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps )

10-Gigabit Ethernet (10000 Mbps )

100-Gigabit Ethernet (100000 Mbps )

TCP/IP Model
TCP/IP defines a set of rules to enable computers to communicate over a
network. specifying how data should be packaged, addressed, shipped, routed
and delivered to the right destination.
Application layer

Transport layer

Network/Internet layer

Data link layer

Physical layer

Five-Layer TCP/IP Model

Application Layer: DHCP, DNS, FTP, HTTP, IMAP4, IRC, NNTP, XMPP, POP3,
RTP, SIP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, TELNET, RPC, RTCP, RTSP, TLS (and SSL), SDP,
SOAP, GTP, STUN, NTP, etc...

Transport Layer: TCP, UDP, DCCP, SCTP, RSVP, ECN, etc...

Network/Internet Layer: IP (IPv4, IPv6), OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, IPsec, ARP, RARP,
RIP, ICMP, ICMPv6, IGMP, etc...

Data Link Layer: Ethernet, 802.11 (WLAN), 802.16, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, ATM, DTM,
Token ring, FDDI, Frame Relay, GPRS, EVDO, HSPA, HDLC, PPP, PPTP, L2TP,
ISDN, ARCnet, LLTD, etc...

Physical Layer: Ethernet physical layer, Twisted pair, Modems, PLC,

SONET/SDH, G.709, Optical fiber, Coaxial cable, etc...

Introduction to Luminary Micro Hardware and Software Tools

Ethernet in Embedded Systems

Media Access Controller (MAC) Part of the Data Link Layer. The MAC
provides addressing and channel access control mechanisms that make it
possible for several terminals or network nodes to communicate within a
multipoint network.
Physical Layer (PHY) - The most basic network layer, providing only the
means of transmitting raw bits rather than packets over a physical data link
connecting network nodes.
Magnetics (Isolation Transformer) - Part of the Physical layer used to
decouple PHY from the physical Ethernet cable.
RJ45 - That Ethernet Connector.

Stellaris Family: Unique Value Proposition

The only ARM MCU with 10/100 Ethernet MAC / PHY
Enables network connectivity and embedded web servers
Lower external power budget requirements than solutions using an
external PHY
Savings in board space and system cost
The Stellaris MCU in
a BGA package is
just slightly larger
than a standard
Ethernet PHY in a 48
pin TQFP package

Use the USB cable supplied in the kit to power the eval board.

Connect the mini-b (smaller) end of the USB cable to the connector labeled
USB TO JTAG/SWD on the EVB.

Connect the other end (Type A) to a free USB port on your host PC.

Connect the Ethernet cable supplied in the kit between the eval board and
the connector on your laptop (unless you have a router supporting DHCP
available in which case you should plug both into this instead).

The quickstart application will begin, enjoy the game!

IP Address Assignment

Example applications first attempt to use DHCP to

obtain an IP address.
With a DCHP server available, an IP address is
typically assigned to the board in a few seconds.
If DHCP times out (as it will here since we do not
have a DHCP server available), a link-local IP
address (169.254.xx.yy) is chosen using the
AUTOIP (RFC3297) protocol.
DHCP timeout defaults to 1 minute so it may take
some time for the board and laptop to pick IP
addresses.
The lwIP TCP/IP stack can be configured for
DHCP, AUTOIP or static IP address use.

Example wed site customization

Modifying the web site in enet_io, enet_lwip

makefsfile.exe tool is included in example root
directory.
HTML and images are stored within the application
binary as a file system image.
This data can be found in:

- io_fsdata.h
- lmi_fsdata.h

The application web site can be found in the fs

directory imported alongside the application.
After changing content in the fs directory, rebuild the
file system image using command:

enet_io
enet_lwip

makefsfile -i fs -o io_fsdata.c -h r

executed from the example directory
