We will also try to give a solution to a tedious problem: the device does not provide an SSL connection, and in a trusted world like this, It’s another big limit, fortunately, OPEnS developed a wrapper that contains in one packet all BearSSL implementation, and this, with a quiet amount of resources, allows standard Arduino Ethernet to use secure connections. - [Devices](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Devices) - [Features](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Features) - [Wiring](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Wiring) - [Raspberry Pi Pico](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Raspberry_Pi_Pico) - [Waveshare rp2040-zero](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Waveshare_rp2040-zero) - [Library](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Library) - [SSLClient](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#SSLClient) - [SSLClient with Ethernet](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#SSLClient_with_Ethernet) - [Buffer extension](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Buffer_extension) - [Manual Modification](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Manual_Modification) - [Code](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Code) - [Initialize device](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Initialize_device) - [Simple HTTP request](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Simple_HTTP_request) - [HTTPS request](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#HTTPS_request) - [Retrieve certificate](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Retrieve_certificate) - [Add SSLClient wrapper](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Add_SSLClient_wrapper) - [Code](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Code-2) - [Thanks](https://mischianti.org/raspberry-pi-pico-and-rp2040-board-ethernet-w5500-with-plain-http-and-ssl-https-requests/#Thanks) ## Devices The W5500 chip is a Hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet controller that provides an easier Internet connection to embedded systems. W5500 enables users to have Internet connectivity in their applications just by using the single chip in which TCP/IP stack, 10/100 Ethernet MAC, and PHY are embedded. WIZnet‘s Hardwired TCP/IP supporting TCP, UDP, IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE protocols. W5500 embeds the 32Kbyte internal memory buffer for the Ethernet packet processing. If you use W5500, you can implement the Ethernet application by adding a simple socket program. It’s a faster and easier way rather than using any other Embedded Ethernet solution. Users can use eight independent hardware sockets simultaneously. SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is provided for easy integration with the external MCU. The W5500’s SPI supports 80 MHz speed and a new efficient SPI protocol for high-speed network communication. To reduce the system’s power consumption, W5500 provides WOL (Wake on LAN) and power-down mode. ### Features - Supports Hardwired TCP/IP Protocols: TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, ARP, IGMP, PPPoE - Supports 8 independent sockets simultaneously - Supports Power-down mode - Supports Wake on LAN over UDP - Supports High-Speed Serial Peripheral Interface(SPI MODE 0, 3) - Internal 32Kbytes Memory for TX/RX Buffers - 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet PHY embedded - Supports Auto-Negotiation (Full and half-duplex, 10 and 100-based ) - Not supports IP Fragmentation - 3.3V operation with 5V I/O signal tolerance - LED outputs (Full/Half duplex, Link, Speed, Active) - 48 Pin LQFP Lead-Free Package (7x7mm, 0.5mm pitch) There is a wide series of w5500 devices, but the most popular are 2 in particular. The less expensive one is the w5500 that you can see in the photo. ![w5500 ethernet network modules spi](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/w5500-ethernet-network-modules-spi-1024x683.jpg.webp) **w5500 ethernet network modules SPI** But now there is a compact version named w5500 lite, very interesting as a device for production. ![w5500 lite ethernet network modules spi](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/w5500-lite-ethernet-network-modules-spi.jpg.webp) **w5500 lite ethernet network modules SPI** Here my selection of tested ethernet devices [w5500 lite](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DeVE4Hx) - [w5500](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DF65b4d) - [enc26j60 mini](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9z4IDn) - [enc26j60](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Al41t7) ## Wiring [![Raspberry Pi Pico rp2040 pinout low resolution](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Raspberry-Pi-Pico-rp2040-pinout-mischianti-1024x818.jpg.webp)](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Raspberry-Pi-Pico-rp2040-pinout-mischianti.jpg) **Raspberry Pi Pico rp2040 pinout low resolution** [![Waveshare rp2040-zero pinout](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Waveshare-rp2040-zero-Raspberry-Pi-Pico-alternative-pinout-1024x629.jpg.webp)](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Waveshare-rp2040-zero-Raspberry-Pi-Pico-alternative-pinout.jpg) **Waveshare rp2040-zero pinout** Here my selection of rp2040 boards [Official Pi Pico](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Deeltwj) - [Official Pi Pico W](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmBK6oj) - [Waveshare rp2040-zero](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DkrjkX1) - [WeAct Studio rp2040](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DlJ5vyB) [![Advertisement](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pcbWay-banner-mobile-300x200-1.gif)](https://www.pcbway.com/?from=mischianti723) This device uses an SPI interface; by default, I will use a base SPI interface. ### Raspberry Pi Pico [![Raspberry Pi Pico and ethernet w5500 on breadboard](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Raspberry-Pi-Pico-ethernet-w5500_bb-1024x431.jpg.webp)](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Raspberry-Pi-Pico-ethernet-w5500_bb.jpg) **Raspberry Pi Pico and ethernet w5500 on breadboard** | **Pico** | **w5500** | | --- | --- | | 17 | CS | | 18 | SCK | | 16 | MISO | | 19 | MOSI | | 3.3v (need >150mha) | VCC | | GND | GND | ### Waveshare rp2040-zero Remember that the wiring for this device is based on a tutorial that you can find here.

You can find It in the standard Arduino library manager. [![Arduino esp32 ethernet w5500 library manager](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Arduino-esp32-ethernet-library-w5500-manager.jpg.webp)](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Arduino-esp32-ethernet-library-w5500-manager.jpg) **Arduino esp32 ethernet w5500 library manager** ### SSLClient This library and device do not support SSL, so to add these features exists an alternate library named SSLClient that needs a little patch of Ethernet. SSLClient adds [TLS 1.2](https://www.websecurity.symantec.com/security-topics/what-is-ssl-tls-https) functionality to any network library implementing the [Arduino Client interface](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/ClientConstructor), including the Arduino [EthernetClient](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/EthernetClient) and [WiFiClient](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiClient) classes. SSLClient was created to integrate TLS seamlessly with the Arduino infrastructure using [BearSSL](https://bearssl.org/) as an underlying TLS engine. Unlike [ArduinoBearSSL](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoBearSSL), SSLClient is entirely self-contained and does not require any additional hardware (other than a network connection). *(cit.)* [![Advertisement](https://www.mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sunfounder_mobile_300x200.jpg)](https://www.sunfounder.com/?ref=fz59AUVD) [![Arduino esp32 ethernet w5500 SSLClient library manager](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Arduino-esp32-ethernet-w5500-SSLClient-library-manager.jpg.webp)](https://mischianti.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Arduino-esp32-ethernet-w5500-SSLClient-library-manager.jpg) **Arduino esp32 ethernet w5500 SSLClient library manager** ### SSLClient with Ethernet If you are using the [Arduino Ethernet library](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Ethernet), you will need to modify the library to support the large buffer sizes required by SSL (detailed in resources). You can either modify the library yourself or use this fork of the Ethernet library with the modification. To use the fork: download a zipped copy of the fork through GitHub, use the “add a .zip library” button in Arduino to install the library, and replace `#include "Ethernet.h"` it with `#include "EthernetLarge.h"` in your sketch. Alternatively, if, for some reason, this solution does not work, you can apply the modification manually using the instructions below. #### Buffer extension I also notice that you probably must change something to get good stability. In SSLClient.h you must change this line. | `unsigned` `char` `m_iobuf[``2048``];` | | --- | to | `unsigned` `char` `m_iobuf[BR_SSL_BUFSIZE_BIDI];` | | --- | #### Manual Modification First, find the location of the library in the directory where Arduino is installed (`C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino` on Windows). Inside this directory, navigate to `libraries\Ethernet\src` (`C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\Ethernet\src` on Windows). Modify `Ethernet.h` to replace these lines: | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | `...` `// Configure the maximum number of sockets to support.

We change `MAX_SOCK_NUM` and `ETHERNET_LARGE_BUFFERS` so the Ethernet hardware can allocate a larger space for SSLClient. However, a downside of this modification is that we can only have two sockets concurrently. As most microprocessors barely have enough memory for one SSL connection, this limitation will rarely be encountered in practice. ## Code Now we try to do a simple WebRequest with a native client. But first, we write the code needed for the connection, we try to ask the IP to the DHCP server, and if It fails, we start a connection with a static IP. ### Initialize device Ethernet uses the default SPI interface default, so first, we must set the correct SS pin (probably not needed). | `// You can use Ethernet.init(pin) to configure the CS pin` `//Ethernet.init(10); // Most Arduino shields` `// Ethernet.init(5); // MKR ETH Shield` `//Ethernet.init(0); // Teensy 2.0` `//Ethernet.init(20); // Teensy++ 2.0` `//Ethernet.init(15); // ESP8266 with Adafruit FeatherWing Ethernet` `//Ethernet.init(33); // ESP32 with Adafruit FeatherWing Ethernet` `// Ethernet.init(PA4); // STM32 with w5500` `Ethernet.init(``5``); ``// Raspberry Pi Pico with w5500` | | --- | You must specify a MAC address also. | `// Enter a MAC address for your controller below.` `// Newer Ethernet shields have a MAC address printed on a sticker on the shield` `byte` `mac[] ``=` `{ ``0xDE``, ``0xAD``, ``0xBE``, ``0xEF``, ``0xFE``, ``0xED` `};` | | --- | Then we try to make a DHCP request. | `if` `(Ethernet.begin(mac)) { ``// Dynamic IP setup` `Serial.println``(``"DHCP OK!"``);` `}` | | --- | But If it fails, we try to make a static IP connection with these parameters | `// Set the static IP address to use if the DHCP fails to assign` `#define` `MYIPADDR ``192``,``168``,``1``,``28` `#define` `MYIPMASK ``255``,``255``,``255``,``0` `#define` `MYDNS ``192``,``168``,``1``,``1` `#define` `MYGW ``192``,``168``,``1``,``1` | | --- | and here is the connection code | `Serial.println``(``"Failed to configure Ethernet using DHCP"``);` `// Check for Ethernet hardware present` `if` `(Ethernet.hardwareStatus() ``==` `EthernetNoHardware) {` `Serial.println``(` `"Ethernet shield was not found.

I chose an online service created to test this kind of request.
