Network Interfaces
The Blackbird provides two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with one from an Intel I210-IT Gigabit
Ethernet controller on the baseboard and the second from an Intel I219-LM Gigabit Phy on the
COM Express module (connected to the internal MAC in the Skylake processor). They both
provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T
applications. Both auto-negotiate connection speed. Drivers are readily available to support a
variety of operating systems. For more information on these devices, refer to Intel I210 Ethernet
Controller datasheet or Intel I219 Ethernet Controller datasheet.

Integrator's Note:
Ethernet Port 1 supports network boot; Port 0 does not.

Ethernet Connector

The Ethernet connector provides access to the Ethernet ports 0 and 1. Ethernet Port 0 connects to
the I210-IT Ethernet controller on the baseboard and Ethernet Port 1 connects to the I219-LM
Ethernet Phy on the COM Express module. The connector uses IEC 61000-4-2-rated TVS
components to help protect against ESD damage. The figure below shows the location and pin
orientation of the Ethernet connector.
