Pic Developer s Guide to Networking Protocols (Paperback)

Chapter 1: Ethernet 101 This chapter will go into detail as to the innerworkings of the Ethernet protocol. The Ethernet frame will be examined in detail with examples of Ethernet frames offered in Sniffer format. The Network General Ethernet Sniffer will be used extensively throughout the book to clarify the use of bits within the Ethernet frame. Chapter 2: History Lesson- The ENC28J60 The ENC28J60 is the first Ethernet IC from Microchip. The PIC18F97J60 family of parts uses ENC28J60 technology. This chapter will detail the history of the ENC28J60 and how the ENC28J60 technology evolved into the PIC18F97J60 series of PIC devices. Chapter 3: The PIC18F97J60 Family All of the Ethernet PICs fall under the PIC18F97J60 family of devices. This chapter will detail the hardware differences of all of the PIC18F97J60 family members. Details of the PIC internal registers will be presented. Chapter 4: Building a PIC18F67J60 Hardware Node This chapter will focus on building a PIC18F67J60 hardware node from scratch. Every detail of the assembly process will be covered. Chapter 5: Building a PIC18F87J60 Hardware Node This chapter will focus on building a PIC18F87J60 hardware node from scratch. Every detail of the assembly process will be covered. Chapter 6: Building a PIC18F97J60 Hardware Node This chapter will focus on building a PIC18F97J60 hardware node from scratch. Every detail of the assembly process will be covered. Chapter 7: Moving and Shaking with IP This chapter is an IP tutorial. Everything offered in this chapter will be built upon in later protocol chapters. Chapter 8: TCP/IP Stack 101 This chapter will cover the basics of a typical TCP/IP stack and explain the layers of the OSI model as they pertain to a TCP/IP stack. This chapter will prepare the reader to understand the home-brewed TCP/IP stack I will present to them in later chapters. Chapter 9: The Art of ARP This chapter will begin the code writing process for the home-brewed TCP/IP stack. The ARP protocol will be examined in this chapter and firmware will be presented to deploy the ARP protocol in the PIC devices. Chapter 10: Bubba Explains UDP This chapter will take the reader through a tutorial of the UDP protocol. In the process, the reader will be introduced to UDP firmware that will run in the PICs. A detailed line-by-line description of the UDP driver code will be offered in this chapter. Bubba is a character I used at the Microchip MASTERS to teach UDP and TCP in my classes. Chapter 11: Interpreting ICMP The ICMP protocol is most famous for the PING process. The reader will be tutored in the ways of ICMP. This chapter will also offer code to implement the PING on a live network using the PICs. Chapter 12: Bubba Talks TCP TCP is the default protocol that is bounced around at cocktail parties. This chapter will tell the reader all he or she needs to know about the TCP protocol to put it to use in the PIC home-brew firmware. The code for the TCP PIC driver will be included within this chapter. Bubba explains the differences of TCP in his own ?country? way. Chapter 13: Dealing with DHCP This chapter will describe the implementation of DHCP. A DCHP tutorial will be offered in this chapter. A line-by-line description of the DHCP driver for the PICs will be included in this chapter. Chapter 14: Smoke Test This chapter will pull everything together. Here we will assemble a small Ethernet network using the embedded PIC nodes we built up earlier. The home-brewed firmware will be loaded into the newly assembled embedded Ethernet nodes and ?tested? in this chapter.
