ARM_DRIVER_ETH_MAC : access struct for Ethernet MAC driver functions.The driver functions are published in the access struct as explained in Common Driver Functions Note For parameters, the value marked with (default) is the setting after the driver initialization. The driver implementation of the Ethernet PHY is a typical part of a Network Software Pack, since PHY is typically not integrated into the microcontroller. The driver implementation of the Ethernet MAC is a typical part of a Device Family Pack (DFP) that supports the peripherals of the microcontroller family. Driver_ETH_PHY.h : API for the Ethernet PHY.

Driver_ETH_MAC.h : API for the Ethernet MAC.

Driver_ETH.h : Common definitions of the Ethernet PHY and MAC part.

The following header files define the Application Programming Interface (API) for the Ethernet interface: The Ethernet PHY connects typically to the Ethernet MAC using an MII (Media Independent Interface) or RMII (Reduced Media Independent Interface).īlock Diagram of a typical Ethernet Interface Wikipedia offers more information about the Ethernet. Several microcontrollers integrate an Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control) data-link layer that interfaces to an Ethernet PHY (Physical Interface Transceiver). It works like any Mac native ethernet port would.Ethernet common definitions (Driver_ETH.h)ĭriver API for Ethernet MAC Peripheral (Driver_ETH_MAC.h)ĭriver API for Ethernet PHY Peripheral (Driver_ETH_PHY.h)Įthernet is a networking technology for exchanging data packages between computer systems.

The new ethernet controller will be visible in the System Preference’s Network settings.

Download ZIP file and open the DMG container within, ex: “AX88179_178A.dmg”.

Scroll down for “Apple Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.12 Drivers Installer”.Proceed to official website of AX88179 Ethernet Controller.Here are the simple steps to install drivers. And who owns a CD drive anyway.?ĪmazonBasics uses the chipset “ AX88179” made by ASIX Electronics Corporation. The box comes equipped with a driver installation CD - however, you may proceed to responsibly dispose of it as the latest drivers can easily be obtained online from the original manufacturer website. This is where to find the latest drivers for the AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter which support Mac’s Sierra (10.12.x) OS (and beyond).Ī good alternative for Apple’s own Gigabit Ethernet Adapter which consumes a Thunderbolt port - or the USB 2.0 device which only goes up to 100 Mbit/s.
