LX2160A SDK Question

deepanrajanbara — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 10:05:02 GMT

Hi Team,

Does the SDK have the capability of using the Ethernet interface as a WAN or LAN depending upon the
use case. If this is possible please point me to the document session in which it is described about. As i went through the document Layerscape software development kit user guide. I am not able to understand certain network related descriptions.

Thank you,

See the following page about difference between LAN and WAN:

See the following pages about Linux possibilities for LAN and WAN using:

Actually what we required is for the WAN port which will be daissy chained with the LAN port . Is it possible in the NXP chipset LX2160 to daissy chain ethernet port.

Actually what i meant is that daisy chain of the Ethernet port like mentioed in the below link. NXP hardware and software supports it.

The Industrial Ethernet Book | Articles | Technical Articles | Could daisy-chained Ethernet become the new fieldbus?
