Embodiments of the invention provide a processorless finite-state-machine-based system-on-chip solution for a network device to communicate across Internet or a large network. The data communication part of the network device can be compromised to use much simpler protocols. However, an Internet device requires configurations to communicate adequately. Such configurations in a commercially available device need to come from other node on the network by an automatic configuration protocol and such configuration communication part has to be implemented processorlessly too. The overall result is a chip for an Internet device that saves power and cost by eliminating components for a processor system. It is particularly useful in Internet-of-Thing applications and for hooking up appliances and sensors to Internet. |
