Dear Mister Reinhardt,

First of all, I would like to wish you and the people around you an
happy new year.

Let me introduce myself : Guillaume FORTAINE, Cloudpreneur :

Having seen with interest the news about your eNet sam3X  project, I
would greatly
appreciate to have more informations about it, if possible, please. To
quote [0] :

"01.03.2011 Cortex M3 version of the module sam7X eNet-planned! from
Q3/Q4 2011 is a version of the Cortex M3-sam7X eNet module will be
available. The eNet sam3X-module course is pin compatible and is based
on the Atmel CPU Sam3X! First engineering samples will be available
shortly"


Especially,  I would greatly appreciate to know how it compares against :

-ST Cortex M3 STM32F207 Development Board Ethernet USB Device/Host CAN [1]

-etherarm [2] :

"This hardware is similar in concept to the Maple hardware from leaf
labs. The reason for diverging from their approach is to use the LM3S
series of Cortex-M3 processors from TI; the particular processor
selected features an integrated Ethernet MAC and PHY providing
Ethernet without requiring an additional external PHY."


By the way, do you plan a devnut_m3n Ethernut branch port for it [3] ?

"devnut_m3n branch of the SVN ethernut tree, used for housekeeping."


I look forward to your answer,

Best Regards,
