Overview of the RDDRONE-T1ADAPT media converter

The RDDRONE-T1ADAPT Ethernet adapter board is an evaluation platform for automotive two-wire Ethernet (100BASE-T1). It can be used to connect a standard Ethernet device, such as a PC or single-board computer, to a peripheral device with a T1 Ethernet interface. Two RDDRONE-T1 boards can be used to connect two standard Ethernet devices together via a T1 network. Top and bottom views are shown in the figure below.

Software source code is available on request through NXP sales if the user needs to modify the configuration. However, the board is preprogrammed and designed for plug-and-play operation with no additional software needed.
