Ethernet: LPC2378 vs LPC2478

Started by "Felipe de Andrade Neves L." January 7, 2011
Hello folks.

I've got a working Ethernet application for a LPC2378 board using the Micrel
PHY. It happened that the code doesn't work on a LPC2478 board with the same
PHY.

Is there any known differences between the both micro controller's Ethernet
peripherical ?

Thanks!

An Engineer's Guide to the LPC2100 Series

Two things to check:
(1) PHY connection mode: RMII or MII, on LPC23xx, it
supports RMII only, on LPC24xx, it supports both RMII
and MII.
(2) PHY address, the PHY address can be changed from
board to board due to the H/W connection.
