P/IP is a communication protocol stack designed to provide a reliable data stream between two hosts. It is a popular means of communicating data over a network. Most people use the protocol every day to check email, browse the web, instant message, and download files. TCP/IP is also becoming more utilized in embedded systems. This application note explores the use of an open source TCP/IP stack on the Virtex-II™ Pro PowerPC™ processor. An example reference design is provided allowing remote interaction with the peripherals on the Insight/Memec designed Virtex-II Pro development board. This product is not recommended for new designs.
