Welcome to the Ethernut Project
If you think the Internet is World Wide Web and email only, you will miss the exciting world of Embedded Ethernet Devices. How about controlling and monitoring your electronic devices from any place in the world, directly, without using a PC? Whether it's a simple LED, a complex robot or your complete home:
This is an Open Source Hardware and Software Project for building tiny Embedded Ethernet Devices.
Hardware
Several Open Source Reference Designs are available, based on 8-bit AVR as well as ARM7 and ARM9. All schematics and the CAD data are published as Open Source Hardware and may be freely used for private or commercial purposes. More...
Firmware
The target software is an Open Source implementation of a Real Time Operating System called Nut/OS and a TCP/IP protocol suite named Nut/Net. Several application examples are provided, including an embedded Webserver, a simple RS232 to TCP/IP gateway and an Internet Radio playing MP3 streams. More...
