Ethernet module masters its own I/O
Ethernet module includes a programmable I/O controller with its own core and memory system, enabling it to perform complex timing and I/O management independently of the CPU.
The NetBurner Mod5234 10/100 Ethernet module includes a programmable I/O controller with its own core and memory system, enabling it to perform complex timing and I/O management independently of the CPU The eTPU is essentially an independent microcontroller designed for timing control, I/O handling, serial communications, motor control and engine control applications

The MOD5270 is the first module based on Freescale Semiconductor's ColdFire MCF5270 processor.
ColdFire-based module has rich peripheral set
NetBurner has introduced the first module targeted at the low cost low power embedded space.
The eTPU timing functions include: synchronised PWM, input capture/output compare, pulse and frequency measurement, pulse/period accumulate, stepper motor, queued output match for complex outputs and GPIO.
Communication functions include: SPI, UART, UART with flow control, plus proprietary protocols.
The industrial temperature rated Mod5234 is based on the 32bit Freescale MCF5234 running at 147MHz.
In addition to the eTPU features the module provides 10/100 Ethernet, 2Mbyte of Flash memory, 8Mbyte of SDRAM, SPI, I2C, three UARTs and CAN.
For applications requiring more UARTS, the eTPU can be configured to provide up to six additional serial ports.
The Mod5234 network development kit ($499) includes all the hardware, software and tools you need to start writing application code for your product or idea immediately.
The kit includes a Mod5234 module, integrated development environment (IDE), uC/OS RTOS, TCP/IP stack, web server, Flash file system, ANSII C/C++ compiler, graphical debugger and deployment tools.
The MOD5234 is available now at a price of $99 in 100 unit quantities.
