NOTE
Some DSPI pins are muxed with eSDHC pins; therefore, DSPI
functionality depends on the eSDHC configuration.
The table below describes the LS1043ARDB SPI flash memory.

2.4 Ethernet interface
The LS1043A processor supports the following two Ethernet controllers (ECs):
• EC1 port: Operates in the RGMII mode
• EC2 port: Operates in the RGMII mode
Each of these ports can connect to an Ethernet PHY using the RGMII protocol. The
figure below shows each EC port connected to a Realtek RTL8211FS PHY on the
LS1043ARDB.
