1 USB-2-MDIO Description

The USB-2-MDIO software tool is used to configure the registers of a PHY using the MSP430 LaunchPad™. This development tool allows for simple hardware setup and software support for customers that do not have MDIO communication capability.

USB-2-MDIO allows access to all Texas Instruments’ Ethernet PHYs that support MDIO bus serial management. USB-2-MDIO 2.0 allows users to read, write, script register read/write transactions and log data coming from the MDIO bus.
