Software Options

The optional TCP/IP network stack is specifically optimized for DSP systems. This stack can operate as a background process using only the remaining processing time after all other tasks are completed, thereby not influencing the real-time performance of the DSP system. It does not require an underlying operating system, although it can be used in a preemptive or cooperative RTOS environment. All functions are non-blocking and interruptable at any time.
