# T1ETH8 Ethernet Switch

## What is this board?

The MR-T1ETH8 is a development board based on the SJA1110 Multi-Gig Safe and Secure TSN Ethernet switch with Integrated 100BASE-T1 PHYs. It is designed to target automotive and mobile robotics applications. The board implements the SJA1110A Ethernet switch and is compatible with the SJA1110 SDK and AVB/gPTP middleware.

Targeting weight-constrained networking on mobile-robotics applications such as drones and rovers, the board also supports an NXP SE050 secure element with NFC for secure identification of modules, encryption key storage and capability of setting configurations and reading status via NFC. The robust automotive grade VR5510 PMIC for power management supports a wide operating voltage range to 40 V input.

Eight of the ten available SJA1110 ethernet interfaces are presented on this board. Six are 100Base-T1 “two wire”, one traditional 100Base-T using an RJ45 connector and one 1000Base-T interface using the new rugged ix industrial connector standard. The ix Industrial connector can adapt via a cable to RJ45 or can be connected to ix to ix to other boards that NXP provides for mobile robotics development.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nxp.gitbook.io/mobilerobotics/flashing-guide/t1eth8-ethernet-switch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
