KSZ8842-PMQL can run in half-duplex mode regardless of the application. Micrel provides software drivers based on the PCI bus solution with which to evaluate the devices functionality and features. The software includes Linux, Vxworks and WinCE drivers and was evaluated on the following platforms: •...
2.2 of the PCI local bus specification, and supports Plug and Play (PnP) functionality on the Window driver of the PC. This evaluation board was also evaluated on the SH7751R platform from Renesas and the KS8695P Evaluation Board from Micrel. Micrel, Inc.
LED. The evaluation board includes Linux, VxWorks, Windows and WinCE drivers to support this hardware. 4.1 Evaluation Board for KSZ8841-PMQL The KSZ8841-PMQL-Eval board is shown in Figure 1 Figure 1: KSZ8841-PMQL-Eval Board Micrel, Inc.

Open is normal operation, close is power down mode JP11 Open jumper There is no WOL function for KSZ8842-PMQL JP12 Close pins 1-2 Close jumper 1-2, power from PCI bus 3.3V. Close jumper 2-3, power from PCI bus 5V. Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1 10/27...
Port 1 and port 2 status LED indicators are programmable via the registers, to three different modes. All LED mode definitions for mode 0, mode 1 and mode 2 are described in Table 5 below. The user can program register CGCR for the KSZ8841-PMQL and register SGCR5 for the KSZ8842-PMQL.
An external serial EEPROM with a standard micro wire bus interface is used for non-volatile storage of information such as the host MAC address, power management information and subsystem ID, etc. The KSZ8841-PMQL performs an automatic read from the external EEPROM and places the data into certain host accessible registers after the system reset.
PME_D2 When this bit is set, the KSZ8841-PMQ: asserts PME event when the KSZ8841- PMQL is in D2 state and PME_EN is set. Otherwise, the KSZ8841-PMQL does not assert PME event when the KSZ88X1P is in D2 state. This bit is loaded to bit 13 of PMCR register.
X1 and X2 pins on the KSZ88XX-PMQL. This 25 MHz clock is specified as +3.3V tolerant, +/- 50 ppm. If an oscillator is used, X1 connects to a 3.3V tolerant oscillator and X2 has no connection. Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1...
10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet Ports There are two 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet ports on KSZ8842-PMQL evaluation board and one 10/100 Base-T/TX Ethernet port on KSZ8841-PMQL evaluation board. The ports can be connected to a traffic generator or analyzer via standard RJ45 connectors using CAT-5 cables.
6.1 Linux Driver Support on KS8695P Platform from Micrel Micrel has developed a Linux 2.6 driver to support the KSZ88XX-PMQL devices and tested them on the KS8695P platform with ARM processor and PCI bus.
CD which is with the evaluation board kit. There will appear three subdirectory (Driver, PCI, ISA) after unpack the zip file. The Driver subdirectory contains the Window driver files for the KSZ8841-PMQL–Eval board and KSZ8842-PMQL-Eval board. 7.1.2 Installation the Evaluation Card First of all, open the case of the PC and check the PCI slot to see it supports 5V or 3.3V power, if...
Floppy disk drives optional (or specify a location which copied the Window drives into the location) and click Next button, the Windows will search the KS884xPMQL Window drivers automatically. Figure 8: Window Prompts Driver Files Search Results Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1 18/27...
At this time, to connect the port of the KS884x-PMQL demo board to a link partner or a KSZ884x- MQL demo board, by typing networking commands “Ping [IP address”] on DOS prompt symbol to see if TCP/IP packets can be communicated, please refer section 7.2.7 and 7.2.8 for configuration. Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1...
KSZ884x-PMQL Evaluation Board User’s Guide 7.2 The Platform from Micrel Using the KS8695P platform is one of the better ways to evaluate the KSZ884X-PMQL devices on the evaluation boards. First of all, please make sure the jumper JP12 pin 1 and pin 2 is closed for 3.3V PCI power on the KSZ884x-PMQL evaluation board.
Type in a name at the prompt e.g. “KSZ8842-PMQL” and press OK Select COM1 port and press OK Fill in the COM1 Properties parameters as shown in Figure 13 and press OK. Figure 13: The Parameters Settings on Hyper Terminal Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1 21/27...
In a real application, higher system clock will be recommended for high level application to meet the system requirements and higher throughput rate requirements, for example, video over IP, etc. Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1 22/27...

0X88 and indicates the Chip family ID. Bits 7-4 = 0x4 and indicates the Chip ID. Bit 0 is set to ‘1’ by the software driver to start the switch. Therefore, the result of reading the register is 0X8841 in the lower two Bytes. Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1...
Click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then click properties, change the fields so that they are the same as in Figure 19 and select OK. Click OK again to get out of Local Area Connection properties and click Close to get out of this window. Micrel, Inc. May, 2006 Rev. 1.1 25/27...
Go to: Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and click on Command Prompt. By typing networking command “ping 192.168.1.2” and press “Enter” on the PC, the KSZ884x- PMQL evaluation board will get response. Figure 20 shows the information after Ping IP address successfully.
