Hi, Everybody
The first PIC18F67J60 Ethernet MINI article can be had in the July 2007 issue of Nuts and Volts. The article is geared towards the MINI hardware and the C driver. The C code that I'm translating to PBP can be downloaded from the Nuts and Volts site. You can also get the C source from the EDTP site. I'm basically taking the C code and translating it line by line to PBP.

If you are interested to see what PBP code I have right now, just let me know and I'll send it along to you. ([email protected])

The current PBP code fragment will bring the MINI online and look for an incoming packet. To use the code fragment you can use the arp -s command to stuff the PC arp cache with the MINI's IP and MAC addresses, which are laid out in the code. You must do this because the MINI can't answer an ARP request yet as it can't transmit yet. Once you have loaded up the MINI firmware and stuffed the PC's arp cache, you can ping the MINI and capture the incoming PING frame in debug mode. I am using MPLAB and an ICD2 to do the debugging. Once you capture a frame you can look at it in the file register debugger window. I have examples of an actual capture I can offer to you as well. Keep your eyes on Nuts and Volts as I will be describing the C-to-PBP port in detail there.

I've heard from many of you concerning the MINI and the code already and I'm always happy to provide to you whatever I can to help you be successful. I'm also open to suggestions and corrections to the code.
