In case the captured images would be input to some intelligent video processors (e.g. face recognition systems), as so the higher image resolution is better for improving the ratio of correctness. To equip the emergent high-resolution, high-quality video sensors with a light-weight but high-speed data transmission module, in this project a compact TCP/IP protocol stack (μTCP) based on hardware/software codesign has been proposed. About the hardware/software partition in μTCP, a tiny embedded 8-bit controller handles the top-level complex control flow in TCP/IP by software, and the remained hardware circuits take charge of those time-consuming but regular jobs like data moving and check-sum calculating.
