About this Guide This document provides technical specifications for the Embedded Ethernet Switch eXtended (EESX) Evaluation-Board. It also illustrates hardware integration guidelines for a Hirschmann Embedded Ethernet Switch eXtended (EESX) module. It describes the board level interfaces as well as the key operation parameters.
1 EESX-Evaluation-Board Interfaces 1.1 Overview Figure 1-1: Components of the PCB-assembly The hardware EESX-Evaluation-Board offers: DC Jack for 24 VDC external power supply 8 x Magnetics + RJ45 connector for 10/100Base-TX. 8 x SFP cages for 100Base-FX transceivers. 2 x DSC adapter for 100Base-FX transceivers at FE-Port 1 and GE-Port 1 2 x Magnetics + RJ45 connector for 10/100/1000Base-TX.
1.3 Twisted Pair Ethernet Interface The 10/100 and 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports (IEEE 802.3 10/100 Base-TX) use RJ45 sockets, and support: ► Auto negotiation ► Auto polarity ► Auto crossing (if auto negotiation is activated) ► 1000 Mbit/s full-duplex mode, only Ports 1 and 2 of EESX30 ►...
1.4 Fiber optic Ethernet Interface The EESX-Evaluation-Board provides SFP cages for optical Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX) SFP transceivers for every Ethernet port. Even EESX30 module supports additionally 1000BASE-FX for GE-at Ports # 1 and 2. An optical DSC (1*9) transceiver is available at FE-Port 1 and can be implemented at costumer’s design for each FE-Port.
1.6 Port count Depending from the hardware type of EESX module the port count used in the software is different. Module EESX20 has eight Fast Ethernet ports (FE) and EESX30 has additionally two Gigabit Ethernet ports (GE). In Table 1-1 means Physical Port the port numbering on EESX-Evaluation-Board and Logical Port means the numbering by the software.
Status Description EESX-Evaluation-Board is unpowered. POWER Green EESX-Evaluation-Board is powered. Signal “Relay_Control” is low, System is not RELAY ready. Green Signal “Relay_Control” is high, System is ready. Software is not loaded. SWBOOT2 Green Software is loaded. Software is not loaded, System is not ready. READY Light green Software is loaded, System is ready.
1.9 EESX Socket (CO201 and CO202) The 120-pin dual-row socket CO201 and 80-pin dual-row socket CO202 on EESX-Evaluation-Board are used to mount the EESX20/30 module. Both sockets are the electrical interface between the EESX module and its Evaluation-Board. The interface connects the power supply, the Ethernet, logical and other signals.
1.12 Push Buttons The following push buttons are available on the EESX-Evaluation-Board: ► Push button SW401 to signal “Ue_Ok”: Resets the EESX module if button pushed. See (16) in Figure 1-1. ► Push button SW402 to signal “PGOOD_PLD“:See (17) in Figure 1-1. Tracks the signal “PGOOD_PLD” to ground (GND) potential if button pushed.

3.5 SPI Interface connection The EESX module provides a SPI interface (acts as SPI master) for status indication. The EESX-Evaluation-Board communicates with the on-board CPLD via a SPI interface. The CPLD serializes and de-serializes the SPI data stream and provides the signals to I/O pins. Direction * Description SPI_/SS...

3.5.1 SPI Protocol Timing Figure 3-5 illustrates every timing parameter in the SPI Protocol. These timing parameters are a result of the EESX internal operation and both constrain host behavior and characterize EESX operation. Note that Figure 3-5 is not drawn to scale, but is instead drawn only to illustrate where the parameters are measured.

Devices for a galvanic separation are not present on the EESX module itself. Appropriate isolation can be achieved by using an external 1:1-Ethernet transformer. If no electrical isolation is required, the module can also be connected directly to another Ethernet PHY device.
