USB-2-MDIO: USB-2-MDIO and PHY

Part Number: USB-2-MDIO

Hi Ti Guys:

I use the RTL8218 PHY in my PoE switch project.

I have a question, Could you please help to solve it?

I can find the USB-2-MDIO in DP83867 PHY EVM on TI Web. 

can I use the USB-2-MDIO to change the RTL8218 register,

Looking forward to receiving your reply, thx

  • Hi Jack,

    The USB2MDIO tool was developed with the intention to use with TI PHYs so it has not been tested with other vendor devices. However, MDIO-MDC interface is a ethernet standard so it is possible that the tool can be used with other PHYs as well. I would recommend you to perform validation tests to ensure it meets your requirements.
