Microchip’s PIC24FJ64GA006 host CPU.
General Description:
II-EVB-PIC-2128
provides
networking
capabilities via the iChip CO2128, which
streams data over TCP or UDP sockets (up to
10 simultaneous active sockets are available),
and manages two listening sockets. A secure
socket (SSL3/TLS1) is fully supported.
Additional features include the ability to send
and receive email messages with or without
attachments, a built-in web server with two
internal websites: one for remote control and
management of the evaluation board, and the
other for the host device; HTTP, FTP, and
TELNET clients.
Software Support:
A set of software drivers and high-level API
functions is available on a CD provided with the
evaluation board. These API functions enable
the PIC host CPU to communicate with the
iChip CO2128.
To develop applications based on the PIC
Host Driver API functions, the following
environment needs to be installed on your PC:
MPLAB IDE 8.0 or higher
MPLAB C30 ‘C’ compiler
MPLAB ICD 2 debugger/programmer
The reference design is intended for
Internet Protocols:
designers of open and flexible internet-
ARP, ICMP, IP, UDP, TCP, DHCP, DNS,
enabled applications.
NTP, SMTP, POP3, MIME, HTTP, FTP and
TELNET
Features and benefits:
Dual core, secure Internet architecture
Security Protocols:
Flexible development environment based
SSL3/TLS1, HTTPS, FTPS, RSA, 3DES,
on the established PIC host architecture
AES-128/256, RC-4, SHA-1 and MD-5
Flexible, low cost, PHY-independent
design
Protocols Accelerated in HW:
Evaluation board can be used for
AES, 3DES and SHA
application development targeting LAN,
cellular, or WiFi applications

Configuration:
The iChip firmware can be easily
configured via the web or via Connect One’s
iChipConfig utility. This Windows-based
utility enables quick configuration of the
iChip CO2128 via a local serial connection.
The iChipConfig utility also enables
packaging of the application’s website.
The PIC firmware can be compiled by
the C30 compiler and programmed by the
ICD 2 debugger available from Microchip.
