Ethernet PHY Add-on Board connector #0 - CPSW RGMII/ICSSM

Note: The PRU internal pinmux mapping provided in the TRM is part of the original hardware definition of the PRU. However, due to the flexibility provided by the IP and associated firmware configurations, this is not necessarily a hard requirement. The first PRU implementation for AM65x had the MII TX pins swapped during initial SOC integration and this convention as maintained for subsequent PRU revisions to enable firmware reuse. To make use of the SDK firmware, use the SYSCONFIG generated PRU pin mapping.

The AM261x LaunchPad has a 48-pin Ethernet PHY add-on board connector connected to either CPSW RGMII or one on-die Programmable Real-time Unit and Industrial Communication Sub System (PRU-ICSS). The RGMII CPSW port and ICSSM are internally pinmuxed on the AM261x SoC. For more information on the internal muxing of signals refer to Pinmux Mapping . AM261x internal Pinmux is used to select between the RGMII or PRU-ICSS signals. Ethernet port connector can be connected to the Ethernet daughtercard that comprises a PHY device and RJ45 connector.

The MDIO signal from the SoC to the ethernet port connector requires 1.5kΩ pullup resistors to the 3.3V system supply voltage for proper operation. There is an analog switch (TS5A23159DGSR) that selects between the CPSW MDIO/MDC and the ICSSM MDIO/MDC signals to be routed to the Ethernet port connector. This analog switch is controlled by an IO expander signal that selects between CPSW MDIO/MDC and ICSSM MDIO/MDC signals.

The reset input for the PHY from Ethernet port connector is controlled by the PORz AM261x SoC output signal.
