I'm working on LPC2468 using Keil bundle package ( MDK / RL ) I want to design a windows form ( GUI application ) in Visual C++ to perform communication ( send and receive information ) between computer and microcontroller ( LPC2468 ) I'm suggested to use SNMP v3 for this project. However I need both SNMP v3 manager and agent source code which is about $20,000. I figured out I can communicate with my board using Telnet also. However Im not sure if it's a standard way to do that. I'm just wondering if you have any suggestion what protocol might be good for this application.
Hello,
I think you must specify the physical layer and how many data you need to transmit...
you could think of modbus on either rs232/lan

I'm using Ethernet cable( 10BASE , 100BASE). and date I'm sending is information about my instrument's configuration.
Hey,
Modbus could be a good choice, unless it is a huge amount of data..
Thanks a lot. I've never heard ModBus. I'm reading some documents about that. sounds good to me.
Thanks
I'm just wondering if you have any suggestion what protocol might be good for this application.
It's easy enough to devise your own new protocol just for this one application. People do it all the time. TCP could provide reliable transport, and your protocol could be built on top of it.
But do you ever have to specify the protocol to others, it is very easy just to point at modbus.org..
But it is all about the needs... Ethereal is a good modbus analyzer as well for modbus..
Well, I prefer to use standard protocol rather than my own protocol. Sounds like ModBus is good. I found this link in Keil website http://www.keil.com/pr/article/1113.htm about ModLib a free software. However the link from Tecnologix does not work. Any suggestion about getting source codes for ModBus Server and Client.
