6.1 Ethernet
The Ethernet interface uses an RMII Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY) (U4), connected to an RJ45
standard Ethernet connector (J5) with integrated magnetics and status indicators. The Ethernet clock is
sourced from a precision 25 MHz clock crystal connected directly to the Ethernet PHY.
The RMII signals used for the Ethernet port are connected from the RA MCU through a set of Trace Cut
Jumpers. To isolate the Ethernet PHY from the RA MCU, each of the RMII signal Trace Cut Jumpers must
be OPEN.
