The AD-T1LUSB2.0-EBZ board is an interface between USB 2.0 and a 10BASE-T1L interface.
The current hardware configuration provides a straightforward architecture with a USB Ethernet Controller and MAC (LAN9500A) connected through MII to the ADIN1100 PHY.
The design also includes an EEPROM for saving and recalling MAC configurations and status LEDs to indicate link status (MAC) and user-programmable status flags from the PHY.
The AD-T1LUSB2.0-EBZ board doesn't require any configuration to be functional and ready for use.
The AD-T1LUSB2.0-EBZ board is intended to be ready for use out of the box to quickly control any system with a 10BASE-T1L interface.
A couple of design examples that have a 10BASE-T1L interface that will work together with the AD-T1LUSB2.0-EBZ board are:
When the AD-T1LUSB2.0-EBZ board is connected to a computer via a USB cable, a new network interface should be available.
This can be verified by running on a shell terminal the ipconfig
command on a Windows system or ifconfig
on a Linux system.
The new network configuration which corresponds to the following example:
Ethernet adapter Ethernet 3: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::5079:d4ec:5a1:6387%63 Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.193.171 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
After this we can run the ping
command as ping -t 169.254.193.171
to obtain the following response if everything works properly:
Pinging 169.254.193.171 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128 Reply from 169.254.193.171: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
In this way, we can confirm that the connection between a computer and the AD-T1LUSB2.0-EBZ board works as expected.
