Circuit Cellar and WIZnet Launch the iMCU Design Contest 2010
The design contest simply requires the use of WIZnet’s new chip (the W7100) as part of your embedded project. The W7100 is an Internet MCU integrating a Hardwired TCP/IP core with an 8051 processor. The resulting integration is known as ‘iMCU.’
The The W7100 can guarantee cost and time efficiency as well as the possibility of ‘offloaded’ Internet capability to existing embedded designs. Moreover, without any knowledge about TCP/IP protocol, W7100 users can design various applications with WIZnet providing simple SOCKET programs.
