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.
