RT1170 EVK - ethernet PHY

[nickwallis]

Hi,

the ethernet PHY used on the RT1170 EVK is impossible to buy, there is no stock.

It is part number RTL8211FD.

Are there suitable alternatives that are already qualified?

thanks!

@EdwinHz thanks, but that is not a solution. There is zero chance that the manufacturer (Realtek) will talk to us directly.

How do you propose we can proceed please? The device that NXP selected for the EVK is impossible to buy, and the same is true for the 100BASE-T phy also actually (RTL8201FI-VC-CG)

Hi @nickwallis,

I believe this community post will answer your inquiry about alternatives for the RTL8211FD: https://community.nxp.com/t5/i-MX-RT/Gigabit-Ethernet-PHY-alternative-for-use-with-RT1176/td-p/13006...
