This is the W5500 network adapter. It includes ATXMEGA8E5 and provides a UART, SPI interface for external MCU.

The ATXMEGA8E5 features an 8-bit AVR processor core running at up to 32 MHz, with 8 KB of flash memory, 512 bytes of EEPROM, and 1KB of SRAM. It also includes a wide range of on-chip peripherals, including multiple USART, SPI, and TWI interfaces, as well as a 12-bit ADC and a DAC.

The W5500 includes a full TCP/IP protocol stack on-chip, allowing for easy implementation of network protocols such as TCP, UDP, IP, and ICMP. The W5500 supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for a wide range of network applications.

There are jumpers for sets that use unique MAC.

It seems to sell as a programmed board, so there are no source codes.

There is a similar product using the W5500.
