I'm currently designing an application with the LPC1857 uC.
I need both Ethernet and a SD card reader, but since the PHY we have on stock roght now only support MII I have a problem. It turns out that MII signal "RX_CLK" is shared with SD card signal "SD_CLK" on PC_0 (pin D4 on 256 pin BGA)
Is there any kind of work around for this? Or is my only option to find a PHY that supports RMII?
