2.6 Gb Ethernet
One Gigabit Ethernet port is defined, designated GBE0. The ports
may
operate in 10, 100, or 1000
Mbit/sec modes. Magnetics are assumed to be on the Carrier Board. All COM Express Modules
shall
implement at least one Ethernet port on the GBE0 pin slot and this
should
be capable of at least 10/100
mode.
2.6.1 Gb Ethernet Signal Definitions
The LAN interface of the COM Express Module consists of 4 pairs of low voltage differential pair signals
designated from
'GBE0_MDI0'
(+ and -) to
'GBE0_MDI3'
(+ and -) plus additional control signals for link
activity indicators. These signals can be used to connect to a 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 connector with
integrated or external isolation magnetics on the Carrier Board. The corresponding LAN differential pair
and control signals can be found on rows A and B of the Module's connector.
