Easily add virtual Ethernet ports to single port MCUs with embOS/IP

February 8, 2016

SEGGER’s TCP/IP stack now offers support for the Tail Tagging feature of Micrel/Microchip Ethernet switches. embOS/IP is the first embedded IP stack to support Tail Tagging.

This enhancement establishes multiple virtual Ethernet ports when only one physical Ethernet port is available on the CPU – by choosing another PHY.

Offering more than one Ethernet port is normally complex, difficult to handle, and most CPUs only have a single port Ethernet controller. It thus requires additional components such as external Ethernet controllers to extend the number of available ports.
