  • Page 4: Introduction

    5V DC wall power supply is 2.5x5.5x9.5mm or 0.1x0.218x0.375inch) Hardware Description The KSZ8873MLL/FLL/RLL Evaluation Board is in a compact form factor and can sit on a bench near a computer. There are three options for configuration: strap in mode, EEPROM mode, and SPI mode.
  • Page 5: Strap In Mode

    Note that even if no external strap in values are set, internal pull up and pull down resistors will set the KSZ8873MLL/FLL/RLL default configuration. Section 4.1.1 covers each jumper on the board and describes its function. To start in strap in configuration mode, make sure that the USB cable is unplugged, JP34, JP35, JP3 and JP9 are connected, JP21, JP25 have jumpers fitted between pins 2 to 3.
