The RT1176 has two cores, but the actual firmware supports only the CM7.
There are currently no good plans on how to use the CM4.
The actual MIMXRT1170_EVK board is on par with the existing MIMXRT boards,
with the following extensions:
- Use 64 MB RAM for the heap.
- Support both LAN interfaces as LAN(0) and LAN(1), with LAN(1)
being the 1GB interface.
The dual LAN port interface can eventually be adapted as well for the
RT1062 MCU.
This work was done in collaboration with @alphaFred.
This is necessary to access sites that only support these protocols.
The rp2 port already has ECDH enabled, so this just adds ECDSA there. The
other ports now gain both ECDH and ECDSA. The code size increase is:
- rp2 (PICO_W): +2916 bytes flash, +24 bytes BSS
- stm32 (PYBD_SF6): +20480 bytes flash, +32 bytes data, +48 bytes BSS
- mimxrt (TEENSY41): +20708 bytes flash, +32 bytes data, +48 bytes BSS
- unix (standard x86-64): +39344 executable, +1744 bytes data, +96 BSS
This is obviously a large increase in code size. But there doesn't seem to
be any other option because without elliptic curve cryptography devices are
partially cut off from the internet. For use cases that require small
firmware size, they'll need to build custom firmware with a custom mbedtls
config.

This commit implements 10/100 Mbit Ethernet support in the mimxrt port.
The following boards are configured without ETH network:
- MIMXRT1010_EVK
- Teensy 4.0
The following boards are configured with ETH network:
- MIMXRT1020_EVK
- MIMXRT1050_EVK
- MIMXRT1060_EVK
- MIMXRT1064_EVK
- Teensy 4.1
Ethernet support tested with TEENSY 4.1, MIMRTX1020_EVK and MIMXRT1050_EVK.
Build tested with Teensy 4.0 and MIMXRT1010_EVK to be still working.
Compiles and builds properly for MIMXRT1060_EVK and MIMXRT1064_EVK, but not
tested lacking suitable boards.
Tested functions are:
- ping works bothway
- simple UDP transfer works bothway
- ntptime works
- the ftp server works
- secure socker works
- telnet and webrepl works
The MAC address is 0x02 plus 5 bytes from the manifacturing info field,
which can be considered as unique per device.
Some boards do not wire the RESET and INT pin of the PHY transceiver. For
operation, these are not required. If they are defined, they will be used.
