Overview

The IMX-RMII-BRPHY is an Ethernet daughter card designed to add 100 Mbps BroadR-Reach (Automotive Ethernet) connectivity to NXP i.MX evaluation kits. It utilizes a 100BASE-T1 PHY to bridge standard RMII interfaces to unshielded twisted-pair automotive networking environments.

Why Choose This Part

This board provides a direct path for transitioning from standard Ethernet to Automotive Ethernet using a common RMII interface. It simplifies the physical layer complexity of 100BASE-T1 by providing a ready-to-use plug-in module for existing NXP development ecosystems.

Applications

Automotive Networking
Evaluation of 100BASE-T1 connectivity for in-vehicle infotainment and gateway systems.
Industrial Ethernet
Implementing robust, single-pair Ethernet communication in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)
Using i.MX processors to simulate automotive electronic control units over a BR-PHY link.

Getting Started

Plug the daughter card into the RMII expansion header of a compatible i.MX development board, such as the i.MX 8M series EVK. Ensure the Linux kernel or RTOS driver is configured for the specific NXP TJA series PHY used on the module to enable network traffic.
