I'm subscribed to the Net+ARM newsletter. Here's the latest installment which I recieved this morning. News from NETsilicon Coming Soon! NET+ARM-5&10T NETsilicon expects to shatter price/performance as the first vendor to offer an embedded networking solution under $15. The 5 MIPS, 10BaseT-only NET+ARM, targeted at the millions of low level, inexpensive devices in factories, building controls and measurement devices that do not require extra processing power or 100BaseT connectivity, is expected soon. Compatible with the existing NET+ARM family, the NET+ARM-5&10T contains a 32-bit processor, pSOS+ software, and development tools at an expected cost of $12.50 in 10K quantities. -------------- Coming Soon! NET+ARM pSOS+ Release D Software Enhancements: New Protocols Supported Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) * Supports SNMPv1 Protocol and MIB 2 * Users can implement their own MIBs Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) * DHCP is used to acquire IP address at start-up and supply configuration parameters * DHCP is supported by Windows 95 and Windows NT Utilities * Flash Download via FTP * Flash Download application now runs from ROM BSP Enhancements * Tighter Integration with pSOS+ * Support for pSOS+ pROBE debugger * Support for pSOS+ configuration dialogue * Support over Ethernet and serial connections Support for NET+ARM-12-1 Chip * The NET+ARM-12-1 ASIC has improved 100BaseT performance for more complete Ethernet operation * The NET+ARM-12-1 ASIC has an improved serial interface.
