Bringing together
two areas of computer technology-networking and embedded
systems-this developer's guide offers guidance and examples
for each of these, with a focus on the special requirements
and limits of embedded systems. Because developing an
embedded system for networking requires knowledge from
many areas, including circuit design, programming, network
architecture, and Ethernet and Internet protocols, developers
are given valuable technical information on each that
can be put to use right away. Covered are the advantages
and limits of using Ethernet to connect embedded systems
in a local network, hardware and program code needed
to connect an embedded system to an Ethernet network
and the Internet, and how to build a network. Also discussed
are how embedded systems can use TCP/IP and related
protocols and how personal-computer applications can
use the protocols to communicate with embedded systems.
Developers will learn how their Web server's pages can
include dynamic, real-time content and respond to user
input.
