enc28j60 connected to nrf52840

Question

Hello, 
 I know that maybe you won't be able to help but i'm giving it a try 
 I'm trying to use enc28j60 connected to a nrf52840. I saw these example https://gitlab.com/enc28j60driver/enc28j60driver and i'm trying to use this, the IoT SDK and Nordic SDK 17.0.2. I'm using SEGGER. 
 I'm wondering if there's another way to do it and how. I notice that someone here have done it through uIP and SPI library but it hasn't much information about enc drivers/connection. 
 
 Thank you for your attention and time. I really hope you can help me or give me a hint. 
 Best regards 
 Catarina

Hi, 
 You may be able to use it through nRF Connect SDK . Zephyr already have support for the through the MikroElektronika ETH Click shield , which looks quite similar to your module. You may need to add some configurations to make the samples work with nRF52840 DK and the Ethernet module over SPI, but I assume this should be less work than integrating the driver and IP libraries yourself. Zephyr already also support IP stacks and other protocols required for networking. 
 Best regards, Jørgen

I think you may have missed my point? 
 The point is that the Wiznet devices have the TCP/IP stack built in, so you don't have to worry about implementing/integrating that - so no worrying about uIP, etc. 
 They are also available as complete modules: https://www.wiznet.io/product/network-module/ 
 Also as serial-to-ethernet: https://www.wiznet.io/product/serial-to-ethernet/ 
 Other suppliers are also available; eg, 
 https://www.lantronix.com/products/xport/ 
 https://www.digi.com/products/embedded-systems/system-on-modules/digiconnectme9210 
 Alternatively, as Jørgen Holmefjord says, you could look at Zephyr & the nRF Connect SDK ...
