Hi there,

I am wondering if it is possible to use the ethercat out port as a regular TCP/IP port. I see that the BCM5241XA1 is not listed as a supported PHY in the app, but the app does also allow for user defined phys. Has anyone done this before?

Regards
Dave

Hi,

It is not possible since the pins used for the EtherCAT ports are not connected and/or the functionality does not correspond to the ones of the Ethernet MAC module.
Check the Table 11 Port I/O Functions in the XMC4300 data sheet.

Hi,

It is not possible to use the ethercat ports as ethernet mac ports.
It is possible to use EoE (Ethernet over EtherCAT).
The support of EoE needs to be implemented in the master and slave stacks.
