Hello,
I am working with two DP83TD510-EVM development kits and I am having an issue with establishing connectivity between the two hosts of my system.
PC1 <--10/100 Ethernet Cable--> DP83822 <-- Samtec Connector --> DP83TD510 <-- Single-Pair Ethernet --> DP83TD510 <-- Samtec Connector --> DP83822 <-- 10/100 Ethernet Cable --> PC2
Firstly, I was successfully able to establish a connection between the 2 PCs using a direct Ethernet connection from PC1 to PC2. I setup a LAN by setting a static IP address for each device to 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 for PC1 and PC2, respectively. Knowing that I was able to establish a simple connection between the two PCs, I then modified the setup to that of above with the two development kits, SPE, and the Ethernet cables.
Now, with the proper setup, I do not see any indication the Ethernet is functioning. The Ethernet activity LEDs on both of the DP83822 boards do not turn on at all indicating no connection. I was expecting the evaluation boards to be setup such that it would be essentially plug-and-play. Here is the user guide I am referencing for setting up the basics:
I have the board setup to use power from J12 on the DP83TD510. Power is passed through to the DP83822 through the Samtec connector. A single-pair Ethernet is connected from one DP83TD510 to the other DP83TD510. With this information, I believe I have best summarized my situation.
What exactly is wrong with the setup or is there something I am missing? Do I need to adjust a few registers inside of the devices? I have access to the MDIO software to do so if needed.
Thank you for the help!
Regards,
Joseph Blank
