Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83869, DP83869EVM
I have the DP83869 configured in media mode and generally working okay. When I run through magnetics and RJ45 jacks everything looks good. Unfortunately, when I try to connect to 1000 Base T signals directly on the board, I have no luck. The SOM already has conversion from RGMII to 1000 Base T, as shown below. The only thing I can think of that's different is the magnetics. I see that there are some magnetics specs in the DP83869 guide but it did not occur to me previously that it may not work correctly at all without them. Is there a chance I still need to drop a transformer between the below chip and the DP83869?
