Project description

Description This project demonstrates how to add a stable Ethernet interface to the SP2302 SBC using the WIZnet W5500 Ethernet chip via the WIZ850io module over SPI. The implementation enables full TCP server/client and UDP socket communication on a Linux-based system. By configuring the W5500 as a secondary Ethernet interface (eth1) through Netplan and Python socket programming, the system becomes capable of wired communication alongside built-in Wi-Fi (eth0). This makes the project ideal for industrial gateways, embedded device controllers, and IoT edge nodes that require multi-protocol…
