Features
The NCN26010XMNEVB Eval board includes all
circuitry to allow the board to act as a 10BASE−T1S
MACPHY node, when connected to a host computer / MCU
via SPI.
The eval board NCN26010XMNEVB, carrying the
NCN26010 has two RJ45 connectors that allow attaching a
twisted single pair data cable. For ease of use, standard cat 5
Ethernet cables can be connected to the RJ45 connectors.
Note that only one pair (connected to pin 1 and 2) of the RJ45
connector is used.
The SPI connection can be done through a PMOD
connector on the NCN26010 eval board, allowing the
connection to MCU demo− and eval boards of various
vendors. One example of such a Eval board is onsemi’s
RSL10 BDK−GEVK.
When pairing the NCN26010XMNEVB with the
NCN26010BMNEVB, users can connect the eval board to
a Raspberry Pi single board computer (SBC).
For details on how this is done, please refer to the
NCN26010XMNEVK eval kit users guide.
To allow monitoring of the SPI traffic, the EVB features
a 0.1” pitched pin header that is easily accessible. This
header could also be used to connect a logic analyzer,
allowing tracing of the SPI signals while in full operation
together with a (not supplied) Raspberry Pi or any other
suitable host MCU or SBC. Users can also use this connector
for connecting to host PCBs (3rd party MCU eval boards)
that do not offer a PMOD connector.
