SPI Ethernet ENC24J600 Library

The ENC24J600 is a stand-alone Ethernet controller with an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It is designed to serve as an Ethernet network interface for any controller equipped with SPI.

The ENC24J600 meets all of the IEEE 802.3 specifications applicable to 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet. It incorporates a number of packet filtering schemes to limit incoming packets. It also provides an internal, 16-bit wide DMA module for fast data throughput and hardware assisted IP checksum calculations. Communication with the host controller is implemented via two interrupt pins and the SPI, with data rates of 10/100 Mb/s. Two dedicated pins are used for LED link and network activity indication.

This library is designed to simplify handling of the underlying hardware (ENC24J600). It works with any AVR MCU with integrated SPI and more than 4 Kb ROM memory.

Library Routines

SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init

Prototype

void SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init(unsigned char *mac, unsigned char *ip, unsigned char configuration);
Returns

Nothing.
Description

This is MAC module routine. It initializes ENC24J600 controller. This function is internaly splited into 2 parts to help linker when coming short of memory.

ENC24J600 controller settings (parameters not mentioned here are set to default):

  • receive buffer start address : 0x0000.
  • receive buffer end address : 0x19AD.
  • transmit buffer start address: 0x19AE.
  • transmit buffer end address : 0x1FFF.
  • RAM buffer read/write pointers in auto-increment mode.
  • receive filters set to default: CRC + MAC Unicast + MAC Broadcast in OR mode.
  • flow control with TX and RX pause frames in full duplex mode.
  • frames are padded to 60 bytes + CRC.
  • maximum packet size is set to 1518.
  • Back-to-Back Inter-Packet Gap: 0x15 in full duplex mode; 0x12 in half duplex mode.
  • Non-Back-to-Back Inter-Packet Gap: 0x0012 in full duplex mode; 0x0C12 in half duplex mode.
  • Collision window is set to 63 in half duplex mode to accomodate some ENC24J600 revisions silicon bugs.
  • CLKOUT output is disabled to reduce EMI generation.
  • half duplex loopback disabled.
  • LED configuration: default (LEDA-link status, LEDB-link activity).

Parameters:

  • mac: RAM buffer containing valid MAC address.
  • ip: RAM buffer containing valid IP address.
  • configuration: ethernet negotiation, duplex and speed mode settings. For this purpose, predefined library constants (see the list below) can be combined using logical AND to form appropriate value :
    • Description Predefined library const
    Set Auto-negotiation SPI_Ethernet_24j600_AUTO_NEGOTIATION
    Set manual negotiation. SPI_Ethernet_24j600_MANUAL_NEGOTIATION
    Set Half duplex Mode SPI_Ethernet_24j600_HALFDUPLEX
    Set Full duplex Mode SPI_Ethernet_24j600_FULLDUPLEX
    Set transmission speed of 10Mbps SPI_Ethernet_24j600_SPD10
    Set transmission speed of 100Mbps SPI_Ethernet_24j600_SPD100
  Note :
  • It is advisable to use only the Auto-negotiation setting. If manual negotiation is used, then duplex and speed mode setting must be set also.
  • Duplex and speed mode may be set only when using manual negotiation.
Requires Global variables :
  • SPI_Ethernet_24j600_CS: Chip Select line
  • SPI_Ethernet_24j600_CS_Direction: Direction of the Chip Select pin
must be defined before using this function.

SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init(myMacAddr, myIpAddr, SPI_Ethernet_24j600_MANUAL_NEGOTIATION & SPI_Ethernet_24j600_FULLDUPLEX & SPI_Ethernet_24j600_SPD100);

SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Enable

Prototype

void SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Enable(unsigned int enFlt);
Returns

Nothing.

Description

This is MAC module routine. This routine enables appropriate network traffic on the ENC24J600 module by the means of it's receive filters (unicast, multicast, broadcast, crc). Specific type of network traffic will be enabled if a corresponding bit of this routine's input parameter is set. Therefore, more than one type of network traffic can be enabled at the same time. For this purpose, predefined library constants (see the table below) can be ORed to form appropriate input value.

Parameters:

  • enFlt: network traffic/receive filter flags. Each bit corresponds to the appropriate network traffic/receive filter:

    • Bit Mask Description Predefined library const
    0 0x01 MAC Broadcast traffic/receive filter flag. When set, MAC broadcast traffic will be enabled. _SPI_Ethernet_24j600_BROADCAST
    1 0x02 MAC Multicast traffic/receive filter flag. When set, MAC multicast traffic will be enabled. _SPI_Ethernet_24j600_MULTICAST
    2 0x04 not used none
    3 0x08 not used none
    4 0x10 not used none
    5 0x20 CRC check flag. When set, packets with invalid CRC field will be discarded. _SPI_Ethernet_24j600_CRC
    6 0x40 not used none
    7 0x80 MAC Unicast traffic/receive filter flag. When set, MAC unicast traffic will be enabled. _SPI_Ethernet_24j600_UNICAST

      Note :
    • Advanced filtering available in the ENC24J600 module such as Pattern Match, Magic Packet and Hash Table can not be enabled by this routine. Additionaly, all filters, except CRC, enabled with this routine will work in OR mode, which means that packet will be received if any of the enabled filters accepts it.
    • This routine will change receive filter configuration on-the-fly. It will not, in any way, mess with enabling/disabling receive/transmit logic or any other part of the ENC24J600 module. The ENC24J600 module should be properly cofigured by the means of SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init routine.
Requires

Ethernet module has to be initialized. See SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init.
Example 
SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Enable(_SPI_Ethernet_24j600_CRC | _SPI_Ethernet_24j600_UNICAST); // enable CRC checking and Unicast traffic

SPI_Ethernet_24j600_doDHCPLeaseTime

Prototype

unsigned char SPI_Ethernet_24j600_doDHCPLeaseTime();
Returns
  • 0 - lease time has not expired yet.
  • 1 - lease time has expired, it's time to renew it.
Description

This is DHCP module routine. It takes care of IP address lease time by decrementing the global lease time library counter. When this time expires, it's time to contact DHCP server and renew the lease.
Requires

Ethernet module has to be initialized. See SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init.
Example 
while(1) {	
  ...
  if(SPI_Ethernet_24j600_doDHCPLeaseTime())
    ... // it's time to renew the IP address lease                  
}

SPI_Ethernet_24j600_renewDHCP

Prototype

unsigned char SPI_Ethernet_24j600_renewDHCP(unsigned char tmax);
Returns
  • 1 - upon success (lease time was renewed).
  • 0 - otherwise (renewal request timed out).
Description

This is DHCP module routine. It sends IP address lease time renewal request to DHCP server.

Parameters:

  • tmax: time in seconds to wait for an reply.
Requires

Ethernet module has to be initialized. See SPI_Ethernet_24j600_Init.
Example 
while(1) {	
  ...
  if(SPI_Ethernet_24j600_doDHCPLeaseTime())
    SPI_Ethernet_24j600_renewDHCP(5); // it's time to renew the IP address lease, with 5 secs for a reply                  
  ...  
}
