Overview
NetBurner core modules allow you to quickly and easily create an embedded product, create a network-enabled product, or add network connectivity to an existing product. These modules can be used as the main processor or as a secondary network co-processor. Features include: 10/100 Ethernet, digital, analog and serial control.
Customize NetBurner Hardware and Software to meet your application requirements
NetBurner solutions can be easily customized to your specific application requirements using a NetBurner Development Kit. NetBurner Network Development Kits include the uC/OS RTOS, TCP/IP Stack, Web Server, full ANSII C/C++ Compiler, device configuration programs and flash update programs that allow you to update applications remotely from any network connection. All kits are now shipping with NetBurner Eclipse; an enterprise level professional IDE that provides editing, downloading and debugging in one environment. |

Choose Your NetBurner Core Module Solution
The NetBurner Embedded Core Module solution you will need depends on your particular application requirements.
The first step is to choose a product based on form and function. Below you will find descriptions of the solutions NetBurner offers and also a parametric table which can be used to compare the functionality of different NetBurner products.
Large applications typically use less than 125k of Flash memory
How much space is required for a NetBurner application?
On a network platform (such as the Mod5234, Mod5270, Mod5272, Mod5282) programs are compressed and stored in flash memory, then downloaded and run in SDRAM. A minimal application with RTOS, TCP/IP, Web Server, Autoupdate, DHCP, will use 66k flash, 520k of SDRAM (450k for TCP buffers by default). A typical large application including the RTOS, TCP/IP, Web Server, extensive web pages, Autoupdate, DHCP, FTP, will use 125k flash and 725k of SDRAM.
The NetBurner hardware provides 512k - 2MB of flash memory, and 2MB to 8MB of SDRAM, which provides plenty of space for your application. If larger amounts of non-volatile storage are required, then SD cards can be used with the included flash file system.

Embedded Ethernet Core Modules
NetBurner Embedded Ethernet Core Modules are meant to be placed onto an end product's circuit board as a daughter card. The processor I/O are available through two dual inline 50 pin 0.1 inch spaced headers.
All modules are footprint and API compatible, enabling migration with minimal impact on the mother board hardware design.
The Coldfire processor I/O, are routed directly from the processor to the module I/O pins. This makes the Freescale Semiconductor Coldfire Users Manual a complete reference to internal peripheral and I/O configuration registers.
Given the high performance of the core processor, external bus, and serial interfaces, the module series is well suited to be the core processor of an entire product. Adding peripherals is as simple as adding them to the bus and configuring the chip select to address the new peripheral. The serial ports offer high bandwidth and a rich feature set. The serial ports have partially full and partially empty interrupt capability, allowing the processor to service the ports with no interruption in data flow.
