Ethernet interfaces

The Evaluation Kit features two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces:

• ETH0 on J10 (labelled as Ethernet 1)
  • this interface also features the TSN functionality
• ETH1 on J38 (labelled as Ethernet 2)

Description

The Ethernet interfaces are available on the Evaluation Kit at the connectors J10 and J38. Primary interface is on J10.

J10 and J38 are a RJ45 shielded connectors with dual led. J10 is connected to the SoM Ethernet PHY, J38 is connected to the Carrier Ethernet PHY

Ethernet 0 - J10 connector

Ethernet 1 - J38 connector

Device mapping

The network interfaces mapped as follows:

• J10 is eth0 device in Linux.
• J38 is eth1 device in Linux.

Device usage

The peripherals use the standard kernel interface and network protocol stack.
