An Embedded SMTP Client Using VxWorks and the PowerPC
Rob Armstrong · 2004
This application note describes an embedded Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client reference design that demonstrates the capacity of a network-enabled embedded system to report on its status via E-mail. It describes how to set up the Platform Studio design environment for the PowerPC™ 405, configure the 10/100 Ethernet MAC core, and create the Board Support Package (BSP) for VxWorks®. The reference design is targeted to the Xilinx ML300 Virtex-II Pro demonstration platform and was created using EDK 6.2i service pack 2. The reference design can be targeted to other development boards with minor changes.
