AM6442: How many independent MAC Ethernet ports can this chip lead out?

Rain Wang

Part Number: AM6442

hi ti

How many independent MAC Ethernet ports can this chip lead out(100M speed can meet the demand)?

The introduction page of above can include five Ethernet ports with MAC, but it is unclear how to calculate it from the product block diagram. It seems that there are only four Ethernet ports in the figure below. Where is the other Ethernet port?

Dear Kallikuppa Sreenivasa

thanks for your advise；

It is mean AM6442 have six independent MAC Ethernet ports ：PRU-ICSSG x4 + CPSW x2 ？Is the page below the official website wrongly written?

Hello Rain Wang,

Thank you for chcking.

I copied the extract from the thread as below

The AM6442 supports up to five (5) concurrent external Ethernet ports. Pinmuxing overlaps one of the CPSW and ICSSG external ports so this is an either/or port instance.

Where did you read 6 ?
