Original : WIZnet Makers W6100 and ENC28J60 Performance on RP2040 at 10Mbps Ethernet
In my test, I delved into a comparative analysis of the W6100 and ENC28J60 chipsets' performance on the RP2040 platform at a 10Mbps Ethernet setting.
Here's a brief overview:
Chipset Capabilities: The W6100, developed by WIZnet, is versatile, supporting both 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet. In contrast, Microchip's ENC28J60 is limited to 10Mbps. Both chipsets operate via the SPI interface.
Testing Framework: I utilized the RP2040 SDK LWIP and conducted the iperf test to gauge the performance. For those interested in replicating or diving deeper into the methodology, I've made available a dedicated GitHub Repository, RP2040-LWIP-C, which houses the test code and comprehensive setup instructions.
Key Findings: The tests revealed that the W6100 slightly outperformed the ENC28J60.
W6100 LWIP iperf Test: 4.24 Mbits/sec
ENC28J60 LWIP iperf Test: 3.76 Mbits/sec
The W6100 has TOE (TCP Offload Engine), enabling it to achieve speeds of up to 8.91 Mbits/sec at 10Mbps. These results can be influenced by the specific network environment.
Additional Insights: The W6100 is further enhanced with support for both IPv4/IPv6 and dual-speed (10Mbps/100Mbps) Ethernet capabilities.
