DP83869HM: Testing above device on DP83869EVM

Part Number: DP83869HM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83869EVM

I plan to use the device, DP83869HM in MII mode (not SGMII or RGMII). There is an evaluation board, DP83869EVM, that has this device, but the user manual notes only SGMII and RGMII, but not MII.

Is there a way to test this device in MII mode on this eval board? That is ultimately the reason for getting the board.

Or, is there an evaluation board that uses this device in MII mode?

Thank you.

  • Hello Michael,

    Just to be sure, you will be testing MII in 10/100Mbps mode only, correct? I see a note in the datasheet that for MII use : "TI recommends to turn off the gigabit speed advertisement through register 0x0009 to ensure that the PHY does not link up at 1000-Mbps speed". Otherwise I see that all MII signals are coming out on connectors and can be used.
