Part Number: LP-AM243
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-CC3235SF

Hi Ti Expert,

I have this board LP-Am243x and WiFi board LAUNCHXL-CC3235SF


https://www.ti.com/tool/LP-AM243

https://www.ti.com/product/LAUNCHXL-CC3235SF/part-details/LAUNCHXL-CC3235SF

I want to design Am243x board as ethernet switch (like :- https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-5-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07S98YLHM)

Working flow like this 
-wifi data packet get and pass-on to Am243x and Am243x data packet pass on the PC/laptop with help of ethernet port. 
Is it possible to connect Laptop/PC? And access the internet on it?

If not, What is other way to design ethernet switch?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Darshan

    Yes, you can do it. You will need to have to interface one ethernet connected to am243x and another connected to internet(it can be wifi also)

    Could you shed some light on what is use case here?

    Hi DJ 

    This is definitely possible.

    This is like serial to Ethernet converter, not similar to the Ethernet switch shared by you. 
    we do not have any specific example demonstrating this. You will need to implement the example.
    Please Let me know if there is any specific point you need help with
