Post by thread:[PIC] IPV6 support in embedded network chips?

TCPIP stack V6 (still in beta) have support for IPV6. Part of the release notes: The v6.xx version of the MCHP TCP/IP stack addresses the networking applications that need to run with: - IPv6 support - Multiple network interfaces support - Capability to stop/start a network interface or the whole stack dynamically at run time - PIC32 or PIC24/dsPIC processors that have at least 192-256 KB of flash memory and 16 KB RAM available. This is the new MCHP TCP/IP stack and it should be used for all the new projects on PIC32 and PIC24/dsPIC machines. Please note that this current version no longer supports PIC18 processors. For applications and projects that need PIC18 support or simply do not need IPv6 or multiple network interfaces the MCHP TCP/IP stack v5.41 is still a viable solution. The following release notes are relevant to the new features added to the version v6.xx of the TCP/IP stack. For the vast majority of the TCP/IP related issues the regular help file distributed with MCHP MLA is still valid and should be consulted as a source as information. > IPV6 is scheduled to be rolled out by major ISPs by the end of the year.

The latest Microchip TCP/IP stack (PIC32 only) includes IPv6 support. in reality, you're going to see IPv4 in almost every application which even touches a microcontroller for a long time. Most people I know aren't planning on transitioning their internal management networks to IPv6 soon, if ever. -forrest On 6/6/2012 12:24 AM, Peter wrote: > IPV6 is scheduled to be rolled out by major ISPs by the end of the year.

This is still in beta and not all of the features from the V5 stack is included yet. /Ruben ============================== Ruben Jönsson AB Liros Electronic Box 9124, 200 39 Malmö, Sweden TEL INT +46 40142078 FAX INT +46 40947388 .....rubenKILLspam@spam@pp.sbbs.se ==============================
