Summary: | 碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 電機工程系 === 99 === As the applications for remote control or remote monitoring grow, demands for adding Ethernet connectivity to home appliances have also been increased. The challenge for many embedded system designers today is to integrate more functionality to their products economically and without increasing the overall size of the device.
This thesis presents an approach to building embedded web controller based on TCP/IP Protocol with a SoC platform to remote control and monitoring home devices via LAN/Internet network. The main benefits of this approach include its lightweight design, automatic online configuration and user-friendly interface.
The web controller was designed using a powerful 8-bit microprocessor with embedded 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet MAC/PHY on a single chip, which provides a very small form-factor solution to enable embedded system very compact, low power, high performance yet low cost. Existing software modules provided by this microprocessor enables easy and quickly implementation of the TCP/IP and HTTP network protocols. The validity of the approach has been verified on a network working with real appliances.
