USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Getting Started INTRODUCTION This section outlines the steps to bring up the SAMA5D3 EDS board with a daughter board such as the EVB-KSZ9563 3-port switch evaluation board. SAMA5D3 EDS AND EVB-KSZ9563 CONFIGURATION To configure the SAMA5D3 EDS board to work with the EVB-KSZ9563 3-port switch evaluation board: 1.

SAMA5D3 Ethernet Development System User’s Guide 5. Connect a 12V power adapter to the SAMA5D3 EDS board. When the board is powered on, it boots the installed Linux operating system. 6. The default IP address for the MPU is 192.168.0.210. Functionality of the Ether- net daughter board can be verified by connecting a PC to an Ethernet port on the daughter board and pinging the MPU.
USER’S GUIDE Chapter 3. Board Details and Configuration INTRODUCTION The SAMA5D3 EDS board is designed to connect to compatible Microchip Ethernet switch and PHY evaluation boards. The board is built around the integration of a Cor- ® -A5-based microcontroller with external SDRAM and Flash memory, dual Ethernet ports, two host USB ports, and one device USB port, an SD interface, and a serial debug interface.
SAMA5D3 Ethernet Development System User’s Guide FIGURE 3-1: SD CARD SLOT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD FLASH MEMORY PROGRAMMING The board is preprogrammed with a Linux image that includes an Ethernet driver and evaluation code. Users may reprogram the on-board flash memory via the micro-AB USB port (USB port A).
FIGURE 3-2: RGMII CONNECTOR A daughter board receives power from the SAMA5D3 EDS board via any of the avail- able supplies: VDDIOP1 (VARIO), 2V5, 3V3, 5V, or 12V. The daughter board documen- tation specifies which power rail(s) are used. Jumpers J3, J7, J13, and J17 are used to connect/disconnect 12V, 5V, 3V3, and 2V5 to this connector.
• PME input from the daughter board. It connects to MPU I/O pin PD17, but the standard software release may not utilize it. • SAMA5D3 GPIO pins PD14, PD15, and PD16 are also wired to the RGMII con- nector and are available for general use.

Chapter 4. Software Configuration and Operation INTRODUCTION The SAMA5D3 EDS board is pre-configured with Linux and Ethernet drivers. This includes some command line utilities for controlling certain switch functions. In addition, the user can interact with the driver to monitor and control the attached switch daughter board.
4.2.2 USB-to-Serial Communication Option This option provides direct access to the SAMA5D3 MPU via a UART interface. It does not require knowledge of the IP address and setting the IP address on the PC. In addi- tion, it does not depend on a switch or PHY daughter board being attached to the SAMA5D3 EDS board.
The software installed on the board may not be the latest revision. Users are encour- aged to compare the installed software version with the latest version available on the Microchip website and update it if necessary. The software version can be checked as follows: # cat/sys/class/net/eth0/sw/version 2018 Microchip Technology Inc. DS50002789A-page 23...
SAMA5D3 Ethernet Development System User’s Guide IP AND MAC ADDRESSES All SAMA5D3 EDS boards currently come with the same IP and MAC addresses. Use the ipaddr or ifconfig commands to check the IP and MAC addresses: # ipaddr or # ifconfig Either address may be changed at the bootloader level as described in Section 4.5 “Ethernet Device Register...
SAMA5D3 Ethernet Development System User’s Guide PRECISION TIME PROTOCOL (IEEE 1588) For switch daughter boards that support IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), the PTP protocol can be run by navigating to the appropriate file system directory, then run- ning the script found there. There are directories for end-to-end (e2e) and peer-to-peer (p2P).
$ unzip SAMA5D3_EDS _Images_Vxx.xx.xx.zip $ cd SAMA5D3_EDS_Images/linux 2. Connect the micro-USB (J12) connector of the SAMA5D3 EDS board to the Linux PC. 3. Connect 12V of power to the SAMA5D3 EDS board. 4. Remove the NAND enable (J20) jumper and press the reset button....
