New Click board from MIKROE provides Ethernet connectivity for embedded systems

256-bit AES encryption support available for secure applications

Delivering Ethernet connectivity for embedded systems, XPort ETH Click is a compact add-on board from MIKROE. This embedded solutions company dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards. Two versions are available: the standard module (XE) and the SE board, which adds 256-bit AES encryption support. Both devices are based on the XP1001000-05R XPort module from Lantronix, and include a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface, embedded web server, reliable TCP/IP protocol stack, and UART communication within an RJ45 connector.

Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “These boards deliver instant Ethernet connections for embedded projects with the ready-to-use XP100200S-05R and XP1001000-05R XPort modules. The SE version is the ideal choice for applications that demand secure Ethernet communication, such as remote monitoring, medical systems, or data-sensitive IoT deployments. Less demanding applications can select the XE part.”

Devices run on 3.3V, and include 512kB of flash memory for firmware and custom web pages. They use bi-colour LEDs to indicate network link and data activity.

New parts within the 1800-strong mikroBUS™-enabled Click board™ family, the XPort ETH Click boards also feature the ClickID function, which enables automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use. Devices are fully compatible with the mikroBUS™ socket and can be used on any host system supporting the mikroBUS™ standard. They come with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering excellent flexibility for evaluation and customization.
