Is it this one? https://www.waveshare.com/dp83848-ethernet-board.htm

Yes.

I think I have found the difference between 8720 and 83848. The latter only support the 25MHz referce clock for 100Mhz transmission. However, the gpio17 output 50MHz clock, which only matches 8720.

I checked the schematics related to your dp83848 dev board. The board has 50 MHz oscillator so you need to connect "OSCIN" pin of P2 header to ESP32 GPIO0 and configure as CLKIN in the IDF.

Well, I found esp32 got the IP address, but I can not ping the IP.

I think there should be something wrong with gpio0, maybe it enter the low-power mode again, and the serial output cannot be acquired. I have replace the Ai-thinker board with ESP board. If I power the board with standalone power, I could not see it in the router's administration interface, maybe it not work due to low-power mode.

So, could GPIO0 be replaced by other pins?

I already mentioned it... GPIO0 is also used as bootstrap pin. Therefore, when you connect something to it and you don't ensure proper logic level at this input during power up, the ESP32 may enter DOWNLOAD mode. And that's exactly what happened to you when you connect OSCIN to GPIO0, you have 50:50 chance that the ESP32 is booted to download mode. It is not low power mode. Sorry I didn't realized it at the first glance.
Therefore one of the solutions could be de-soldering R1 and so disconnecting the external oscillator, then connecting "OSCIN" pin to GPIO16/17 and configuring IDF Ethernet to CLKOUT.


- "Well, I found esp32 got the IP address, but I can not ping the IP."
Did you ping the correct address? Is you PC from you are pinging in the same subnetwork? The Ethernet interface should be OK get IP address from DHCP server.

:roll: Well, I choose to buy two LAN8720 again, becasue the resistor is too small for me to re-solder.

Thanks. I think there should be a switch for next version of development board.

Ok, just make sure you handle the LAN8720 clock properly too.

Just a note regarding the switch on the DP83848 dev board, that's not likely to happen... It seems it fits its original use case, it would be more expensive and having a switch on CLK lane could possibly also cause problems with signal integrity.

My board brings a LAN8720A and I receiving the "wrong chip ID" message on ESP32 log.

I connected all the pins properly, both RMII pins and serial pins.
As my board has an oscillator, I'm reading the PHY clock using GPIO0.

My Ethernet board is properly supplied.

I read someone on this forum with the same problem, and he said that he had to "power on the eth". What does it means? Is that to supply 3v3 to the board?
