The RT1176 has two cores, but the actual firmware supports only the CM7.
There are currently no good plans on how to use the CM4.
The actual MIMXRT1170_EVK board is on par with the existing MIMXRT boards,
with the following extensions:
- Use 64 MB RAM for the heap.
- Support both LAN interfaces as LAN(0) and LAN(1), with LAN(1)
being the 1GB interface.
The dual LAN port interface can eventually be adapted as well for the
RT1062 MCU.
This work was done in collaboration with @alphaFred.
Just another choice for the PHY interface.
Added: Keyword option phy_clock=LAN.IN or LAN.OUT
to define the source of the 50MHZ clock for the PHY
interface. The RMII clock is not enabled if it
is generated by a PYH board. Constants:
LAN.IN The clock is provided by the PHY board.
LAN.OUT The clock is provided by the MCU board.
The default is LAN.OUT or the value set in mpconfigboard.h, which
is currently set to IN only for the SEEED ARCH MIX board. Usage etc:
lan = LAN(phy_type=LAN.PHY_DP83848, phy_clock=LAN.IN)
Useful for boards without a PHY interface, where that has to be
attached. Like the Seed ARCH MIX board or Vision SOM. Phy drivers
supported so far are:
- KSZ8081
- DP83825
- LAN8720
More to come. Usage e.g.:
lan = LAN(phy_type=LAN.PHY_LAN8720, phy_addr=1)
The default values are those set in mpconfigboard.h.
This commit implements 10/100 Mbit Ethernet support in the mimxrt port.
The following boards are configured without ETH network:
- MIMXRT1010_EVK
- Teensy 4.0
The following boards are configured with ETH network:
- MIMXRT1020_EVK
- MIMXRT1050_EVK
- MIMXRT1060_EVK
- MIMXRT1064_EVK
- Teensy 4.1
Ethernet support tested with TEENSY 4.1, MIMRTX1020_EVK and MIMXRT1050_EVK.
Build tested with Teensy 4.0 and MIMXRT1010_EVK to be still working.
Compiles and builds properly for MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK, but not
tested lacking suitable boards.
Tested functions are:
- ping works bothway
- simple UDP transfer works bothway
- ntptime works
- the ftp server works
- secure socker works
- telnet and webrepl works
The MAC address is 0x02 plus 5 bytes from the manifacturing info field,
which can be considered as unique per device.
Some boards do not wire the RESET and INT pin of the PHY transceiver. For
operation, these are not required. If they are defined, they will be used.
