Beaglebone reset by ethernet pin and usb

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2051

Dear TI,

I have 2 questions for my beagle bone Black

1) how can i reset the host remotely using SYS_RESETn pin of the LAN8710A chip i do not want the host to execute a reboot command rather the LAN chip must pull the signal SYS_RESETn pin HIGH or LOW based on an IP packet is it possible?

2) i need 2 USB host on BBB can i convert the USB PC connector to USB host just by  using additional 

TPS2051 (DGN) chip and 87520-0010BLF connector instead of USB5MINI connector ?

Regards

Nick 

  • Hi Nick,

    1) The rest pin of LAN8710A is an input. There is no way you can toggle SYS_RESETn from this pin.
    2) This can be done if you find a way to connect USB0_DRVVBUS to the power switch. USB0_ID must also be tied to GND. I think it's a better idea to use an external hub on USB1.
