Coming, hopefully, by the end of the week.
Specs:
- 80MHz/40MIPS
- 128K program space
- 8K SRAM
- Ethernet MAC/PHY
- 1024Mbit SPI EEPROM
- microSD card
- USB connection
- 8 I/O pins, all 5.5volt tolerant. 7 can be assigned to reprogrammable hardware modules like SPI, UART, PWMs, counters, etc.
Interesting. Aside from remote configuration, my real use for custom network devices is to allow data collection via SNMP. Any thoughts on if we might be able to put a custom agent on that thing?
Interfaces like the zport are really just serial-telnet, making data collection possible, but requiring scripting to collect/massage the data.
The Microchip TCPIP stack (http://www.microchip.com/tcpip) has several SNMP demos, maybe one of their demos would work.
SNMP is listed as one of the supported protocols. Nice. I was pretty disappointed by the early ethernet offerings.
I’ll have to dig around to see if I can define custom mib oids or if they just have a built in tree that you have to use.
Great work Ian, I can’t wait to get it all to work!

80MHz? What is the MCU? Some PIC32?
Wood !
Probably a PIC from 24FH series. I’m really interested, maybe selling this as a kit? As I can’t get most of the stuff used in here.
Great, now there’s no need for designing my own :-) (I was going to do something like the webserver-on-a-business-card thing)
This one looks like a “web buspirate on a business card” :-D
Any info about the MCU and possible preorder date?
Thanks for your comments. This prototype is now online:

This is more inline with what I thought the #Twatch was going to be like. Where I don’t like the idea of having a script running machine running to expand its capabilities. Shame theres not an LCD driver/header on this board as this would be what I wished for the #Twatch and more to be?
