Is the LPC1768 suitable for Ethernet signal transmission application?
I am working on a project where I would like to manually transmit raw Ethernet data. Does the LPC1768 allow access to the raw bits contained in an Ethernet frame (when connected with a Magjack)? Would I be able to use this board to receive the bits contained within an Ethernet packet and mirror the data out the I/O's?
Essentially I am trying to replace a Cat5e cable with two controllers and a different medium between so that:
Ethernet > Transmit with I/O > Receive with I/O > Ethernet
This system would be very similar to simply using a Cat5e cable end to end, but is it possible to achieve this using two controllers?
Thanks

Hello Alex,
It isn't fully clear for me what you mean by "Transmit with I/O > Receive with I/O" but if you do not mind to connect an external ENC28J60 Ethernet module (for example like this one) to LPC1768 boards then you can try the RawEthernet library to achieve that. See the example program how to use it.
