That's mostely true for ARM-Eval-Board but a lot of the MPC-Eval-Ports from Freescale do have PCI or even PCIe slots. > Has anyone an embedded platform with enough speed up and running with RTNet? > > Some guy before me used an PowerPC M8313E (where I have two samples of) for > that and added an PCI e1000 card.

The MPC8313E does have very powerful ethernet controllers on chip, which are for networking products. Also a E1000-NIC should work at full speed. Therefore I assume that the 150 MBit/s are due to software. What has been used?

The i.MX6 has a GETH controller on chip but not really a good one.
