Overview

The Microchip PIC32 allows for implementation of a Full Speed USB device.

Implementing a Networking over USB solution allows a PIC32 based design to connect to a Microsoft Windows system and use TCP/IP network connections using the Belcarra Windows USBLAN Class driver.

Microchip makes available a TCP/IP stack and a demonstration application that implements a Web Server. In their demo the Web Server can be accessed via the Ethernet.

Belcarra has created a Networking over USB driver (USBLAN Function Driver) for Microchip that allows the TCP/IP stack to use USB to connect to a Windows system.  A demonstration kit is available to demonstrate this capability.

This demonstration kit is adapted from Microchips Ethernet implementation of  a web server demo. The Belcarra kit uses the v2.9a version of USB from Microchip and has been implemented with the most recent production version v5.42 of the Microchip TCP/IP stack. Belcarra can also on request make available a version of this demo using the Microchip version v6 Beta TCP/IP stack.

Belcarra’s implementation of Networking over USB for the Microchip PIC32 is a very low cost networking solution for PIC32 projects, eliminating the need to add an Ethernet chip while using less Flash and RAM resources.
