How to use two sets of Ethernet simultaneously on RT106X or RT1170?

HI

I need to use two ethernet interface and have them both operational. I haven't found any relevant examples in the SDK.

Thanks.

Hi

For the i.MX RT 106x take a look at the uTasker project, which supports flexible networking solutions:
Multiple networks on multiple interfaces on
- single or dual Ethernet
- Wifi
- Tethered USB

Allowing complete project development,and i.MX RT simulation using VisualStudio (including TCP/IP stack on emulated i.MX RT in real-time).

Hi @kevin198776 ,

Thanks for your interest in NXP MIMXRT series!

As you said, there is no dual Ethernet demo in the SDK at the moment, which makes it difficult for developers. But our colleagues have worked on a project (unofficially released) for RT106X based dual Ethernet. I don't know if this fully meets your needs, but for that matter, it's the only resource I can find at the moment. Thanks for your kind understanding in advance!

Best regards,
Gavin

Hi Gavin_Jia,

Does NXP have plans to release a two-ethernet-interface EVB?

Hi @kevin198776 ,

Thanks for your feedback.

But as far as I know, there shouldn't be any new EVK design for RT106x. But there may be some third parties that are implementing dual network ports. This link: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT/RT1061-Dual-Ethernet-MDIO-Interface-Questions/td-p/1521883

Also, the RT117x has an EVK that supports dual network ports.

Best regards,
Gavin
