LPC1549 Xpresso v2 Rev B board, ethernet?

[federicospinard]

Hello everyone, i have a LPC1549 Xpresso v2 Rev B board and i just wanna know a thing, is it possibile connect a RJ45 cable to this board? And if the answer is yes, in which pin i have to connect? Because i looked the schematics and i didn't see any ethernet pin! Sorry but i'm a novice, thanks for the help!

LPC15xx doesn't have Ethernet, so you'd have to add an external MAC & PHY. There are 3rd party Arduino shields that enable this, via the SPI interface, but we don't have example code or recommendations for that at the moment. On the mbed developer site it shows one such board:

With the LPCXpresso43xx and LPCXpresso18xx boards they have on-device MAC and a PHY on the board, so you can add the OM13082 general purpose shield to connect Ethernet via RJ45.
