WIZnetInterface library for mbed-os 5

Question

mbed-os as of Aug 2016 now exports to IAR tools and others. Its a good starting point. Has anyone done any work on creating mbed-os supported library? developer.mbed.org/teams/WIZnet … Interface/ If you find something, please post here. Maybe its not so difficult to do? Any few pointers would be helpful. A library provide Ethernet to all the small micros that can’t run lwip and don’t have in built Ethernet controller to mbed-os. Seems a no brainier to me. (this post is not referring to mbed or mbed-rtos) Thanks…

Ideally, what really needs to be done is adding Wiznet support to the NetworkSocketAPI [url]| Mbed [url]https://developer.mbed.org/teams/NetworkSocketAPI/code/[/url] By was of an example, this has been done with the WizFi310 Interface (Client only) [url]WizFi310Interface - This library can be used in mbed driver or mbed O… | Mbed or [url]https://developer.mbed.org/users/jehoon/code/WizFi310Interface/[/url] AND also by way of a good example - the esp8266 Wifi module (running AI Thinker ‘AT’ Firmware. No UDP) [url]https://github.com/ARMmbed/esp8266-driver[/url] AND the esp8266 Wifi module (running Espressif ‘AT’ Firmware. Client support only) [url]https://developer.mbed.org/teams/components/code/ESP8266Interface[/url] It could then be supported by the ‘easy-connect’ library [url]https://github.com/ARMmbed/easy-connect[/url] Note: Existing library makes heavy use of status register polling. There is a lot of ‘while(not_ready)poll()’ statements. Its not going to work well if more than one thread is listening on a TCP port. At a minimum it needs to listen to connections without blocking. Ideally use interrupts. … In the meantime, I’ve continued to use the old wiznet library - as described here.
