7.2 The Platform from Micrel
Using the KS8695P platform is one of the better ways to evaluate the KSZ884X-PMQL devices
on the evaluation boards.
First of all, please make sure the jumper JP12 pin 1 and pin 2 is closed for 3.3V PCI power on the
KSZ884x-PMQL evaluation board.
The KS8695P platform with the KSZ8842-PMQL-Eval board attached for 3.3V PCI slot power as
shown in Figure 11.
Please note, that when using the KS8695P platform, the KSZ88XX-PMQL support driver must
first be loaded into the flash memory on the KS8695P platform.

Connection
The Ethernet port of the KSZ88XX-PMQL-Eval should be connected to the Ethernet port of the
Smartbit tester, and the RS-232 serial port on the KS8695P platform should be connected to the
RS-232 serial port of the PC. This setup is shown in Figure 12.
