![]() ![]() In most cases, adding those resources to the system surpasses the cost and viability of the main reason why the system was conceived. Implementing an entire Internet communications stack requires significant memory and processing resources from the microcontroller-based system. For instance, most household appliances are based on very-low-cost 8-bit microcontroller technology and chances are that the host microcontroller includes neither a network port nor the hardware resources to support TCP/IP and other Internet protocols without disrupting their primary function. Unfortunately, for most electronic devices, implementing the technology to achieve this ubiquitous connectivity based on open Internet standards doesn't come easily. It is going to become a part of our everyday life through the ordinary, previously unconnected devices that surround us at home, at work or in our automobiles. Net-linking MCUs requires trade-offs By Rene Trenado, Applications Engineer, Motorola Semiconductor, Tijuana, Mexico, EE Times (2:16 p.m.
