About the Ethernet to spi PCB
Ethernet to spi is an open source PCB design by imihajlow, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 113 × 32 mm, with 34 components from 24 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 74HC86, 74HC14, 75C1168, 74HC08 and 74HC32. By type, the board carries 10 capacitors, 8 connectors, 7 resistors, 5 ICs and 4 transistors.
From the project
An Ethernet to SPI converter using 7400-series ICs
The Nucleo64 shield schematic files are located in sch/shield/.
The firmware for stm32f401 is located in stm32eth-f401/.
The idea is to convert the Manchester-encoded 10BASE-T signal to SPI and use an STM32 MCU to parse it.
A 75C1168 chip is used to convert differential signals to 5V logic levels.
Then, edges are detected using a 74HC86 XOR.
Blue is the input signal, yellow - detected edges.
