1.1 Introduction

The AM2x EVM Automotive Ethernet PHY Add-on Board was developed to enable additional Ethernet peripheral support on AM2x EVMs and allow for rapid prototyping of the core SoC for Automotive Ethernet applications. This user's guide details the design of the add-on board and how to properly use the interface. The user's guide also details many important aspects of the board including, but not limited to pin header descriptions, test points, and signal routing.
