Ethernet interfaces[edit | edit source]

The ZERO Evaluation Kit features four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with the PHY available in the EB23 carrier board.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Ethernet interfaces are available on the Evaluation Kit at the connectors J19 (ETH_A), J20 (ETH_B), J21 (ETH_C) and J22 (ETH_D).

Ethernet connectors are a RJ45 shielded connectors with dual led. The ethernet PHY is provided in the EB23 carrier board and the three SoC GMAC instances provide up to three ethernet interfaces.

The fourth ethernet interface (ETH_D) is available as EtherCAT or switch interface anf it is not used in the ZERO Evaluation Kit.

ETH_A - J19 connector
ETH_B - J20 connector
ETH_C - J21 connector

Signals[edit | edit source]

The interfaces signals mapping can be found in the Evaluation Kit schematics.

Device mapping[edit | edit source]

The network interfaces mapped as follows:

  • J19 is eth0 device in Linux
  • J20 is eth1 device in Linux
  • J21 is eth2 device in Linux

Device usage[edit | edit source]

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