The EDTP Easy Ethernet/AVR is an integrated 10Base-T Ethernet module that can be fitted with any 40-pin Atmel AVR that is pin compatible with the ATMEGA16.

The Easy Ethernet/AVR is based on the NE2000 Compatible RTL8019AS Ethernet IC. All of the microcontroller's PORTC pins are brought out to standard .100 inch center holes and can double as JTAG ICE interface pins. PORTA is equipped to handle an optional 74HCT573 Octal Transparent Latch. Onboard status LEDs, a 20MHz crystal for the RTL8019AS and a 7.37MHz crystal for the AVR microcontroller, an onboard serial port and consolidated magnetics/RJ-45 in the form of an LF1S022 make the Easy Ethernet/AVR easy to deploy in your application.

The Easy Ethernet/AVR firmware suite includes simple routines that allow control of the AVR's I/O pins using UDP via a VB program and TCP/IP by way of a Telnet session on your PC. All of the Easy Ethernet devices include an onboard power supply and onboard programming facilities. You get the full Easy Ethernet documentation package in the form of a download.

The Easy Ethernet/AVR hardware and firmware are described in detail in Fred Eady's Networking and Internetworking with Microcontrollers book.
