[En-Nut-Discussion] Ethernut 3.0 limits

[Javier Longares]

Hello Ole,

Thanks for your feedback. Of course, as you said the problem is the RAM
overflow problem if a lot of PCs are looking for connections, but I think it
should be possible to check memory and accept new connection only if there
is available memory.  So it could be interesting data about how much RAM
uses a TCP client connected to the board.

With respect to the ethernut my problem is that I've not found any
instructions about how it could be used to put my code in the non volatile
memory.  Could anybody help or led me?

Best regards.
