RedcellX Networking Stack Goes Gigabit

The Worlds Fastest IPv6 Stack on Gigabit Networks

Portland, OR (PRWEB) June 12, 2004 -- RedcellX Inc., a leading embedded systems provider announces immediate availability of its Embedded Software Suite for the Intel® 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

Redwire 7 is designed for applications that require high reliability, compact code footprint, and a cost-effective royalty free business model. Redwire 7 supports a wide array of processors including X-Scale, ARM, MIPS, X86, PowerPC, ColdFire and Blackfin DSP.

The Intel® 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller is a single, compact component with integrated MAC and PHY layer functions. Packaged in a 15x15mm TFBGA, the Intel 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller is footprint compatible with the Intel® 82551QM, 88551ER, 82562EZ and 82562EX Fast Ethernet Controllers, allowing for a flexible, Gigabit Ethernet or 10/100 Ethernet design.

The Intel 82540EP combines Intel's fourth-generation Gigabit MAC design, with fully integrated, physical-layer circuitry to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab). In addition, the controller provides a direct Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.3 compliant bus up to 66 MHz.

The Intel 82540EP incorporates new features that optimize this controller for mobile designs. New features include clock run protocol support, a LAN disable pin and hardware supported downshift capability to two-pair 100 Mbps operation. In addition, the Intel 82540EP consumes less power in the lower system states.

Redwire 7 and the Intel® 82540EP offer developers a fully integrated solution for communications and networking devices needing gigabit Ethernet connectivity, ideal for embedded clients such as Web kiosks and POS terminals.

"This is one the worlds fastest and most reliable gigabit networking product." Said CEO Troy Melquist.
