Does anyone know of any Arduino form-factor boards that have both a processor and an Ethernet port?
I need something simple that is not a stack of shields, instead just an Arduino processor and ethernet port all on same board.
It needs to be same shape and headers as a standard Arduino UNO so I can connect it inside another device, and needs a Ethernet port instead of the USB type B connector.
I just need a simple web-enabled Arduino without wifi so I can send simple TCP requests to it and enable IO.
I tried using Yun and it fits correctly, but it runs Linux and has wifi, both are not allowed for devices in this ecosystem.
Seeed Studio seems to have their version in stock: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeeduino-Ethernet-p-1231.html
Freetronics has their EtherTen Board, but it's usually been "out of stock" when I've checked, and I don't know for sure whether it's still an active product.
Arduino used to have "Arduino Ethernet" and "Arduino Leonardo Ethernet", but they're both "retired." You could conceivably make your own versions of those, based on the still-available OSHW designs.
Oh man, that Arduino Leonardo Ethernet looks so ideal, and Arduino Ethernet w/ PoE = drool, what were they thinking by retiring them?
Oh well, maybe the Seeed board will work, but I have not had good experience with Seeed reliability.
I wish I could find the Arduino Ethernet w/ PoE, that is exactly what I need.
And as for making a board, it is possible, we are trying to avoid that path because then we will have to certify it which costs a lot and takes too much time.
Sketch uses 26170 bytes (91%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 1379 bytes (53%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1181 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.
Is that the WizNet Ethernet library, or the en28j60 Ethernet library?
Although in any case, one of the 32K AVRs isn't really quite up to internet stuff, memory-wise. Even if tcp/ip is offloaded into another chip.

Thanks for the warning, Ouch, yea I should have mentioned my sketch a little:

We just ordered the Leonardo from Robotdyn to test, but now I see it will fail the compilation because the program memory usage exceeds 28672 bytes.
Maybe I can make it work if I hack it, but probably not.
My guess is I'm back to looking for another board similar to the Leonardo but with a heftier processor that I could translate all of my sketch over to.
I was using an ESP32 module running Arduino code as my µC and Ethernet controller for RD. But I have been challenged to migrate the design to an entirely new industrial Arduino PLC. I am desperate to find an Arduino form-factor programmable Ethernet board...even an ESP32 slapped on an Arduino shield might do the job, but I just can't one with an Ethernet port.
The DUE Core is an arduino DUE 100% compatible board but with all pins broken out (including EMAC pins) plus an EEPROM. The footprint is smaller than the original DUE board:
It has been certified for resale and use in commercial applications.
But we only utilize a few IO and two mechanical relays per each PLC.
I wanted to stick to something I was familiar with so an industrial Arduino was what I picked because they offer CE FCC or euro certification.
Are there any industrial products that offer Arduino programmable, Ethernet, SD and mechanical relays in a single package?
It needs to be able to respond to REST requests and run operations remotely inside of an electronics security enclosure. Noting complex but must be very reliable and respond/reboot quickly.
If all fails I will just have to resort to the Yun, but that would involve major re-design of a currently good working interface :o
And I really do not like the idea of running linux for something that is expected to be up 99.999% of the time.
Any industrial solutions I could try? Alternatives?

what MCU is it?
I guess this would not fit in Mega even if compiled for 8 bit CPU
megaBlocks:
Currently I am using the ESP32-EVB from Olimex and running Arduino code. It works great! But it's not certified for commercial application.
I truly appreciate you all chipping in and helping me out with this, thank you all very much for your generosity.
And yes I have glanced at Industruino in the past. But looking at them again I do see they are CE and FCC certified.
Looks like it could be a good candidate, but I do not see any mention of mechanical relay modules, am I completely missing them or do they not support that?
I am very interested in the Industruino IND.I/O D21G and the ethernet module but I do not see any spec listed for which processor they are using in the PLC. Will it be capable of handling the libraries I have listed above?

you can use DIN mounted relays. there are models with two relays a small one SSR controls the big one. or SSR only
Industrino has SAMD MCU like Arduino Zero/M0 and MKR.
I just looked at the SAMD MCU on that Industrino, I even installed the board files to Arduio IDE and tried to compile but the Maximum size is 262144 bytes.
My Sketch uses 757282 bytes of program storage space.
That means my sketch is 288% of a SAMD MCU maximum.!!!!!!!
I may be mistaken, but I am very sure it won't work either.
Why is the ESP32 such a superior module (price, performance, memory, features) compared to all Arduino solutions?
This is driving me crazy, I have a working prototype that costs $40, but I can't find even a single simple industrial Arduino based solutions no matter how much money they cost.
Will I be forced to use this Yun??? It is so slow..
Please help me, my team thinks I'm a total idiot because I can't find even a single alternative to the ESP32. Nor can I find a ESP32 solution that is certified.
My Sketch uses 757282 bytes of program storage space.
ESP32 sketch sizes aren't directly comparable to SAMD or AVR sketches, because the ESP32 code includes an operating system, and a full TCP/IP/Wireless stack. Even one of the trivial examples compiles to 636470 bytes...
