The Microchip EVB-LAN9252-SPI board is intended to be a generic interface to many third party processors used in EtherCAT Slave applications. The EVB-LAN9252-SPI is designed to be a simple interface to the SPI port, with test points for power and ground. The evaluation board uses standard RJ45 connectors to connect to the EtherCAT system and can be used to begin software development of the EtherCAT Slave code before the final hardware is completed.
