| Opinions: PIC32 with Ethernet support? |

Due to limitations in the ancient Wiznet ethernet I/O library, we are now considering pivoting away from our comfort zone (PIC24 + Wiznet) into a PIC32 that supports Ethernet.
MPLAB shows support for the protocols we need to use (SNMP, HTTPD, SMTP).
https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/high-speed-networking-and-video/ethernet/ethernet-mcus-and-mpus
After using MPLAB this past year, I would prefer to stay within the CCS ecosystem. Even with the challenges, the support over here has been substantially better.
Has anyone ever ever implemented PIC32+Ethernet? The Wiznet I/O library is "functionally abandoned" and simply cannot do all the things we need to do in 2026.
Thanks for any opinions on this.

A while back ....probably 3+ years?.... CCS sent a questionnaire to (I'm guessing) most registered customers. At any rate, I received one and subsequently replied. One of the questions asked (and I'm paraphrasing) how likely you'd be interested in PIC32 support.
I have no idea if PIC32 support is a priority or not; if it is, how far down that path CCS has progressed....
You can always ask them. I feel the same about MPLAB as you seem to: use only if absolutely necessary. |

Yes I did but it is of no use to you. I implemented an ethernet bootloader for the PIC32 using RTL ethernet controller, and Microchips ENC controller variants I even implemented a complex multilevel cascaded ethernet bootloader. I no longer use the PIC32 for my own projects or customer projects.

Wow, I honestly thought they had PIC32 support. I see it is not listed. I know there was something we almost switched to which would have required us to buy a different CCS compiler, but apparently that was not PIC24.
Nevermind :-)
