Microchip Technology EVB-KSZ8563 Evaluation Board
Microchip EVB-KSZ8563 Evaluation Board is a plug-in card that interfaces directly with a mating Microchip host processor/controller board like the SAMA5D3-EDS board. This Microchip board features a highly-integrated KSZ8563 networking device that incorporates a layer-2+ managed fast Ethernet switch, two 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX physical layer transceivers (PHYs), and associated MAC units. The EVB-KSZ8563 evaluation board's two PHY ports are connected to RJ45 Ethernet jacks with integrated magnetics. At the same time, the MAC port configured as RGMII MAC interface is brought out to a high-speed multi-pin (HS) connector.
The EVB-KSZ8563 evaluation board, in combination with SAMA5D3-EDS, provides a highly-flexible platform to allow evaluation of basic KSZ8563 PHY/Switch features using static Control-Status Registers (CSRs). This platform also helps to develop the firmware of advanced KSZ8563 MAC/Switch features like IEEE1588 PTP, AVB, and RSTP/MSTP that require interaction with upper network layers.
Features
- Two integrated magnetic jacks
- Two dual-LEDs to provide link status
- Pin strapping configuration via jumpers
- GPIO signal headers support IEEE 1588 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP)
