Dual ethernet capability on microcontroller

Any opinions on what would be the best/quickest solution and implementation here to support Dual Ethernet. I need a very minimal TCP/IP stack implementation to be packaged and working on any type of RTOS.Thanks

  • I would go for a "Whiz net" (or similar) wireless module (interfaced via UART/SPI...).
    These things come with TCP/IP stackk implemented in the chip itself making your life easy - even very. Using an on-board networking peripheral is possible but requires TCP/IP stack software like lwIP, uIP, TCPNet etc.

  • What constitutes "best" to you?

    For "quickest", Tamir's suggestion of 2 separate "modules" is probably worth pursuing...

    Whether they're off-the-shelf modules, or your own microcontroller design, is up to you...

    Shame that TI just made all their chips with on-board MAC+PHY "NRND".
