User Guide for EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ
General Description
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ is a flexible platform enabling quick evaluation of the ADIN2111, robust, low power 10BASE-T1L 2-Port Ethernet switch. The evaluation board provides 2 10BASE-T1L channels with 10Mbit per second Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) connections reaching up to 1.7km of link distance. The ADIN2111 internal switch can be configured in store and forward mode between the two 10BASE-T1L channels and the SPI host. Cut through mode is also available between Port 1 and Port 2 and can be used without the need of the SPI host (unmanaged configuration).
The evaluation board offers two modes of operation for maximum flexibility: Connected to a PC via USB port, the full set of ADIN2111 register settings and features such as link quality monitoring and diagnostics can be accessed over the USB using the serial command interface implemented in the evaluation firmware.
Alternatively, the board can operate in cut-through mode between Port 1 and Port 2 (unmanaged configuration without firmware) where the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ acts as a network switch forwarding packets between the 2x 10BASE-T1L ports. The 2x links are configured by setting the ADIN2111 hardware configuration pins jumper and switches. The 2x On-board Activity LEDs provide Link activity status indication for each port.
Custom firmware can also be developed and the ADIN2111 driver support package includes simple project examples to start a custom implementation.
The SPI interface provides access to the management registers required for the switch configuration, the 2 PHYs configuration and data exchange between SPI host and ports.

Overview
Hardware
Power Supplies
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ can be powered from three different sources:
- 5-32V DC external power supply connected to P1 terminal bock or P2 barrel connector
- USB (5V DC) using the P5 usb-mini connector
The power supply source can be configured using the P4 “BOARD POWER” link (3-positions: USB, EXT, GND).
Note that the two power supplies can be simultaneously enabled on P1 (2 jumpers inserted) as an internal common cathode diodes circuit selects the highest voltage source.
The selected input power source is converted by the step-down converter U501 (LT8619) to 3.3V
The link J2 is used to connect U2 output to the main 3.3V supply rail used on the board
The green “PWR” LED1 is ON when the 3.3V rail is present.
The board power consumption depends on the mode of operation, with the maximum of approximately 0.5W.
10BASE-T1L Cable Connection
The 10BASE-T1L cable can be connected via pluggable screw-terminal block to connector P101. If more of the pluggable connectors are needed, for easy connecting / changing cables, additional connectors can be purchased from the vendor or distributors:
- Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
- Manufacturer part number: 1803581
- Description: “Pluggable Terminal Block, 3.81 mm, 3 Ways, 28AWG to 16AWG, 1.5 mm², Screw”.
Ground Connections
The demo board has two “Earth nodes”, one for each port. We call it “Earth node” here – though this node may or may not be electrically connected to Earth ground. In a real device this node would be typically connected to the device metal housing / chassis. Each Earth node can be connected as required in a wider demo system via “Earth” terminal of the power supply connector P1, or via exposed metal plating of 2 mounting holes in the left corners of the board. (The 3rd and 4th holes on the right do not have metal plating, and also no Earth connection.)
The shield of the 10BASE-T1L cables can be disconnected from this Earth node, connected directly, or connected via a 4x 1nF capacitors array for Port 1 (C85,C86,C87,C88) and Port 2 (C89,C92,C93,C95). The required connection is selected using jumper J101 (Port 1) and P22 (Port 2).
(!) Note: The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ has been designed only as an Evaluation board. It has NOT been designed, and it has NOT been tested for electrical safety. Any equipment, device, wire, or cable connected to this demo must be already protected and safe to touch without danger of electric shock.
Hardware Configuration Setup
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ board is provided with links (jumper) and DIP switches that can be used to set the ADIN2111 configuration. The Table 1,2 and 3 describe the links and switches functions.

Software
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ can be used as a stand-alone board, with the firmware already pre-programmed in the microcontroller flash memory.
The mode of operation can be set using the S4 Configuration DIP switch and the link status is indicated by LEDs.
There is no software required for this stand-alone use case.
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ can also be interfaced with a host computer via the USB port. The full set of ADIN2111 PHY and MAC registers and features such as link quality monitoring can be accessed via the command line interface.
Note that the default firmware is configured with the SPI interface set to OPEN Alliance SPI with Protection enabled. The ADIN2111 hardware configurations pins must be set accordingly using the DIP switch S1 (see table 2 for reference).
Driver For USB COM Port
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ has an onboard USB-UART converter (FTDI FT232R).
Ensure that the appropriate Virtual Com Port driver is installed on the host platform before connecting the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ to the host computer via the USB cable.
The drivers are available from FTDI, at the time of writing this document at https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/
COM Port and Terminal Settings
When the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ is connected to the host, it will become available in the host system as a USB Com Port, and will be assigned a com port number. The number will depend on the system settings, on com port devices previously connected and assigned in the system, and on the FTDI driver settings.
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ microcontroller communicates over a standard UART interface, with the following settings:
- Baudrate: 115200
- Data Bits: 8
- Stop Bits: 1
- Parity: none
The protocol is based on ASCII text commands and messages. Each message sent from the firmware to the host is finished by both <CR> and <LF> characters. For the commands received from host the firmware expects <CR>, <LF> or <CR> + <LF>.
(For information: <CR> .. “carriage return”, ASCII code 0x0D, <LF> .. “line feed”, ASCII code 0x0A )
Terminal Commands and Messages
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ firmware works with the common serial terminals. It has been tested on Windows platform with PuTTY, RealTerm, Termite and Hyperterminal. (The examples in this document were captured using Compuphase Termite).
Initial Welcome Message
When the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ is correctly connected via the USB Virtual COM Port using the terminal software, the firmware sends an initial welcome message as displayed below.
Note that a hardware reset of the board (using S5 “RESET” button) or the 'info' command will also display the welcome message. This can be useful to check the ADIN2111 information and link status.

Application Quick Start
Demo Web Page
The EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ firmware runs a webserver that can be used to access the Demo webpage to visualize the board information and link status for each port.
This feature demonstrates how the 10BASE-T1L Low Complexity Ethernet Switch can be connected to a 10BASE-T network and accessed using conventional HTTP requests.
A media converter board (e.g. EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ, see the user guide for more details) is required to interface the
EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ to a 10BASE-T network (using RJ45 cable).
A simple setup is shown below:
To run the webpage demo (DHCP, mode 7):
- Connect a single twisted pair between the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ PORT1 or PORT2 and the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ media converter (10BASE-T1L). PORT1 is used in this demonstration.
- Connect a RJ45 cable from the media converter board to a Local Area Network, Host Computer or router. (10BASE-T)
- Configure the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ in media converter mode with support for 2.4V p-p transmit level (refer to the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ User Guide)
- Set the CFG switch to mode 7 on the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ board (see Table 4, mode 7 is the shipping configuration, alternatively the “mode 9” command can be entered in the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ terminal while the firmware is running, this will be overridden by the configuration switch if the board is reset)
- Connect a USB-micro cable between the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ media converter board and the host computer
- Connect a USB-mini cable between the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ and the host computer
- Open a serial terminal connected to the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ Virtual COM port
- Press the reset button on the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ terminal, confirm that the welcome message is received and link is UP: 10BASE-T1L CH1 Link-Up received on ADIN2111 terminal
- Open a web browser (e.g. Mozilla Firefox) and enter the IP address of the board listed from the welcome message on the serial terminal. If the IP is not listed yet, enter the 'info' command in terminal to display the welcome message). Note that the “MOD” LED D10 will flash green while waiting for the IP to be assigned by the DHCP server. Once the IP is assigned, D10 stops blinking and stays ON Green.
The webpage shows basic information about the board, the MSE and link parameters for each channel. The page is auto-refreshed every 5s. After a long period of time, if the page is hung a simple reset of the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ will reload the page properly.
Frame Generator/Checker
To run the frame generator/checker demo (mode 9 using Port 1):
- Connect a single twisted pair between the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ Port 1 and the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ media converter (10BASE-T1L)
- Connect a RJ45 cable from the media converter board to a Local Area Network, Host Computer or router. (10BASE-T)
- Configure the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ in MAC remote loopback (refer to the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ User Guide)
- Set the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ board CFG switch to mode 9 (see Table 4), (alternatively the “mode 9” command can be entered in the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ terminal while the firmware is running, this will be overridden by the configuration switch if the board is reset)
- Set the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ board CFG switch to mode 13 (MAC Interface remote loopback, see EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ user guide), (alternatively the “mode 13” command can be entered in the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ terminal while the firmware is running, this will be overridden by the configuration switch if the board is reset)
- Connect a USB-micro cable between the EVAL-ADIN1100EBZ media converter board and the host computer
- Connect a USB-mini cable between the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ and the host computer
- Open a serial terminal connected to the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ Virtual COM port
- Press the reset button on the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ terminal, confirm that the welcome message is received and link is UP:
10BASE-T1L CH1 Link-Up received on ADIN2111 terminal
- Enter the 'start' command
- Enter the 'stop' command to stop the test
The output should be as follow, note that the test stops automatically once 10,000 frames have been received:
start
OK
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
CH1 -37.2 dB,CH2 MSE n/a , Rx 0, Diff 0, Err 0
stop
OK
Troubleshooting
As a general recommendation, check the jumper configuration and make sure they are all in default state as a starting point. Exception applies to the power selection on P4 that can be configured based on the required power source.
Serial Port can not be open on host
- Make sure the FTDI drivers are installed
- Check which virtual COM port has been assigned to the board on the device manager (windows OS). A simple way to check it is to unplug/plug the evaluation board and check the port number listed (e.g. COM1,COM2…)
- If no device enumeration and no virtual COM port has been assigned on the device manager check the following:
- Power is applied to the EVAL- ADIN2111EBZ
- The EVAL- ADIN2111EBZ USB port is connected to the host computer
- If a virtual COM port is assigned, check that no other application is using it
Command line interface not working
- Ensure sure the serial port can be opened properly as described in previous section
- Verify that the serial COM port selected in the terminal is the one assigned to the evaluation board (see above)
- Check the serial port baudrate, parity, start and stop bits settings are configured properly
- Try perform a hardware reset, using the reset button (S5), this should display the Welcome Message
- Double-Check the jumper settings, make sure that if the board is only powered from USB, P4 jumper is set accordingly.
- Try to reprogram the board with the evaluation firmware
No link established (2-boards setup)
- Ensure the command line interface is working as described in previous section
- Ensure that the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ board and the link partner are powered properly
- Ensure that the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ onboard Microcontroller power supply selection (P11) and the onboard ADIN2111 AVDD_H power supply selection (P13) are the same (1.8V or 3.3V)
- Ensure the ADIN2111 communication is working (Shown in the welcome message: SPI Access to ADIN2111:Success)
- If the SPI access to ADIN2111 reports a fault(from terminal welcome message), check that the ADIN2111 power rail selection is matching the intended transmit level set for both ports on S2. If S2 enables 2.4V p-p transmit level on one of the port, AVDD_H rail must be powered from 3.3V.
- Check that the SPI is configured to Open Alliance with protection on S1 pin 1 and 2
- Ensure 10BASE-T1L cable is properly connected between P101 (Port 1) or P21 (Port 2) and the link partner board
- Ensure that the hardware configuration is appropriate for the required linking arrangement.
- Transmit level mode are compatible between the local device and the link partner
- Recommendation to Disable Software Power Down after Reset on both ports, specially if using a custom firmware (P1_SWPD_EN_N=OFF, P2_SWPD_EN_N=OFF on S3 switch)
- Check the SPI Configuration on S1. The evaluation firmware uses Open Alliance SPI with protection enabled (SPI_CFG0=OFF, SPI_CFG1=ON on S1 switch)
- Measure and verify the voltage at various points on the EVAL-ADIN2111EBZ using the 3V3, 1V8, 1V1 test points.
