Question
Serial over Ethernet solutions?
Does ST Micro have Serial over Ethernet solutions for a PCB design? Basically, the aim is to convert RS232, RS422, or RS485 interfaces from legacy devices to 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet packets. I do know of many serial-to-Ethernet converters available as cables dongles or modules, but I'm interested if anyone knows of any chip/ICs that will support translation between these protocols. I'm thinking a microcontroller would be needed to provide drivers to both serial and Ethernet sides. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
