The paper describes two approaches to development of network capable application processors (NCAPs), which support remote online reprogramming and are compatible with IEEE1451 series of standards. The first approach utilizes specialized DS80C400 microcontroller by Dallas Semiconductors, while the second one is based on double-processor architecture, utilizing microcontrollers by Silicon Laboratories and analog devices. Advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are above.
