LAUNCHXL-F28379D: Help with Ethernet Port Selection

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Hi,
 
I am using the LAUNCHXL-F28379D evaluation board for grid voltage and current monitoring. I need to transmit 50,000 samples per second of V&I data from the board. To facilitate this, I would like to add an Ethernet port so users can connect via a standard connector to read the data.
 
Are there any Ethernet BoosterPacks compatible with this board? If not, could you please provide alternative options for adding Ethernet connectivity? I am aware of SPI-to-Ethernet solutions, but I would like to know if there are any other recommended methods.
 
Best regards,

  • Hi Premsagar,

    The F28379D doesn't have the MAC required to connect with Ethernet so you would need to use an external MAC. F28388D does have the Ethernet support that you need. Otherwise if you want to continue with F28379D, can you look at the Ethercat protocol? There is an addon board for the F28379D controlCARD (TMDSECATCNCD379D) which you can take a look at

    Regards,
