Hi.
I have a question about our system.
Host Processor is MPC5748G, Ethernet Switch is SJA1105QEL.
I am trying to connect from PC to MPC5748G using SJA1105QEL as below.
Do you think this system is possible or not?
In the manual, I referred MPC5748G connected with SJA1105QEL internally.
Must i connect MPC5748G with SJA1105QEL internally?
best regards.
thank you.
MPC5748G and SJA1105Q are separate devices, so any connection between them is external. If what was actually meant is, if a direct connection, i.e. no PHYs in between, is required, the answer is no, it is not required. A workable connection can either be through complete Ethernet network interfaces on the both sides, or by (R)MII interfaces wired to each other directly. Note however, that in the case of a direct connection, the interface modes must match, i.e. you can't connect an MII to an RGMII.

Thank you for your reply.
what i meant internal connect is direct connect
I understand MPC5748G can connect to SJA1105QEL directly with same interface(xMII).
but in the case of our system diagram above i uploaded (MPC5748G uses PHY with RJ45), is it possible to communicate to PC?
or it is not possible because interface is different?
best regards.
Yes, it is possible. The difference at the MAC/PHY interface level is abstracted by the PHYs when they are present in the transmission path.

In addition, this system operate correctly (except SJA1105QEL).
i tested ping from PC to MPC5748G.
but our system doesn't work.
I tested ping from PC to MPC5748G, but it was failed.
I got the configuration tool for SJA1105.
i used the simplePQRS.py file to configure some options.
So i changed few options like below to operate correctly.
i changed HOST_PORT to 0 because MPC5748G connect to Port0 at SJA1105QEL.
i changed xMII_MODE[0] to RGMII because MPC5748G uses PHY.
i changed MACADDR to 0x223344556677 because MPC5748G has MAC ADDR as 0x223344556677
i changed speed to SPEED_1GBPS because RGMII speed is 1Gbps.
do i need any thing else to change?
thank you for your help.
