This reference design showcases an Ethernet gateway that functions as a bridge between four 10BASE-T1L single-pair Ethernet (SPE) ports with power over data line (PoDL) and a 1000BASE-T Ethernet port. The four SPE ports function as power source equipment (PSE), providing 24 V to field devices. The gateway is controlled by the AM6442 microprocessor and utilizes the Linux® operating system, allowing for flexible and scalable open-source software.
