- fulafel 6y agoThis says the Ethernet controller is "natively attached" but the SoC datasheet doesn't mention Ethernet: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware /raspberrypi/bcm2711/README.md So maybe it's a separate chip?
- floatboth 6y agoMaybe. The chip closest to the Ethernet port has BCM on it..
- mschuster91 6y agoYou have to search for RGMII in the bcm2711 datasheet, which is a media-independent link. In theory you could rip the PHY chip out and replace it with a fibre PHY, so you'd get a fibre Pi.
