AM625: USB to Ethernet bridge

Part Number: AM625

Tool/software:

Team,
In order to enable an additional Ethernet port an"USB to Ethernet bridge IC" could be used:
https://www.mouser.de/c/semiconductors/interface-ics/usb-interface-ic/?type=Bridge%2C%20USB%20to%20Ethernet

-Have we successfully tested any of those options with our AM62x Linux USB drivers already?
-Do we know which one of the options are already supported in the open source kernel and do work out of the box on our TI Linux SDK?

Thanks in advance,

Anthony

  • Hi Anthony,

    This question is really out of our support scope, since it is irrelevant to any TI processor, but more about if those USB to Ethernet devices are supported in Linux or not.

    However, Linux does support many such devices. And the kernel drivers for several of them are already enabled in the Processor SDK prebuilt.
