Lidar ethernet communication

[OKose.1]

Hi guys, my Lidar sensor named Livox Tele-15 communicates via ethernet. It gets IP by connecting to the modem in its own example application. It transfers data by connecting to IP in computer software. I want to control Lidar with a controller from STM32F7 series. Can I connect Lidar directly to STM controller via ethernet without using modem?

The whole point of standards like ethernet, IP, etc is that they are hardware-independent.

So the Lidar's ethernet will connect to *any* other ethernet device.

You will have to study the Lidar's documentation to find exactly what protocols it supports over its ethernet, what API it provides, etc ...

Certainly, an STM32F7 can support ethernet comms.
