Hi, Renesas Team
I'm a System Architecture Engineer,
I wanna know,
If a RH850U2A16 and a TDA4VL are both used in one ECU ( 2 SoC on 1 ECU),
Is it possible to connect the Ethernet MAC Port of RMII on RH850U2A16 and the Ethernet MAC Port of RMII on V446K directly, to realize the Ethernet Communication inside the ECU through Layout on the PCB?
If it's possible,
What could I be warned about the hardware design of the MAC2MAC solution implementation?
I'll appreciate it for your response, thanks a lot!
Hope everything goes well with you!
Yours
Vincent
Hello,
The Ethernet peripheral on RH850/U2A can connect to MII/RMII interface so I do not see why what you describe cannot happen.
Please refer to the Ethernet I/F Connection Guide for U2A:
