2.1.2 Ethernet Connectivity

The Ethernet LaunchPad development kit is designed to connect directly to an Ethernet network using RJ45 style connectors. The microcontroller contains a fully integrated Ethernet MAC and PHY. This integration creates a simple, elegant and cost-saving Ethernet circuit design. Example code is available for LwIP TCP/IP protocol stack. The embedded Ethernet on this device can be programmed to act as an HTTP server, client or both. The design and integration of the circuit and microcontroller also enable users to synchronize events over the network using the IEEE1588 precision time protocol.

When configured for Ethernet operation, it is recommended that the user configure LED D3 and D4 to be controlled by the Ethernet PHY to indicate connection and transmit or receive status.
