now i am trying to implement a web server which will control device such as motor, Sensors. this device will act as web server and it alone will be running office hours of every day and only rj45 cable will be connect to it to control devices. only power adapter will be connected to this board.
can i use MSP430-EasyWeb3 (about 70$) for such purpose.
and MSP430-JTAG (about 17$) and
powersupply (about 4$)
for my purpose.
And i am using Rowley Crosswork (30days version) as my IDE for programming MSP430-EasyWeb3
but no problem i will just test the led switch on/off first as beginning!
so , firstlyi want to know it is possible and enough or not with the devices list i mentioned programming MSP430-EasyWeb3 using MSP430-JTAG (about 17$)
using Rowley Crosswork.
i will try first with Rowley’s uIP examples and Andreas Dannenberg’s examples first.
JTAG setup is pretty simple. Look at the docs for your JTAG and it will tell you the connections you need for it. Make sure you have all the decoupling caps that it says you should because JTAG won’t work otherwise.
I was using the 4 wire setup. Never tried the 2 wire JTAG.
After a couple of hours of playing around with it, I got it to download program and run it.
Indeed it is an ambitious project for a beginner, but if you are deterimined to put in the time to single step and trace out the stuff, you should hev it up and running in few weeks.

Yes, Easyweb is exactly what you would need.
Motorola also has a 16bit MCU with ethernet interface MC9S12NE64 and has a simple demo board DEMO9S12NE64 which might already have the example case you are looking for. Dont get me wrong, I am great fan of MSP430, but I thought you might find the NE64 easier since it comes with the code you are looking for.
Freescale just released a Coldfire DEMO aimed at this very porpuse, the give you everything you need to set up a webserver. I happen to have one of this boards, I’ll post the model for you.
