To buy the ethernet module for your Raspberry Pi Zero, just search for ENC28J60 on Ebay.
Connection-scheme for the ENC28J60 on the Raspberry Pi Zero:
clk = not connected
wol = not connected
si = GPIO10
cs = GPIO8
vcc = +3.3v
gnd = 0v / gnd
rst = not connected
sck = GPIO11
so = GPIO9
nt / int = GPIO25
To configure the Raspberry Pi Zero, do the following on the command line:
$ sudo raspi-config
Go to "9 Advanced Options", select "SPI" and Enable it.
edit /boot/config.txt
Add the line:
dtoverlay=enc28j60
That's it. If you want a static MAC-address so that the IP-address does not change at each startup, do the following:
Create the following file: /lib/systemd/system/setmac.service
Add the following contents:
[Unit]
Description=DSet the MAC address for the ENC28J60 enet adapter at eth0
Wants=network-pre.target
Before=network-pre.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/sbin/ip link set dev eth0 address 00:00:00:00:00:00
ExecStart=/sbin/ip link set dev eth0 up
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Replace the "00:00:00:00:00:00", by a MAC-address of your choice, but keep the first pair of zero's. Then do this:
$ sudo chmod 644 /lib/systemd/system/setmac.service
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable setmac.service

Thank you thank you thank you. This is excellent and works 100% perfect with a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I found the INT signal necessary to make it work. Thanks also for explaining how to set the mac address.

@JibunnoKage-cj2kz 11 месяцев назад

The ethernet module uses the SPI interface/bus, he never explains this. Also, be sure to add an AS1117 (3.3v to 5v booster breakout board) so that the board can draw a bit more micro-amps, it really needs about 200 micro-amps to work consistently at load. Will it work at 3.3v, yes, but if you push the module, it will error out. The AS1117 uses 5v in, GND, and out is 3.3v... but the 3.3v it returns has a higher micro-amp capacity then the 3.3v direct from the Pi GPIO 3.3v pin.

I ordered one. Only 4$ shipped. Need it to run mtr traces to a server from my network. Hopefully this device doesn't introduce any latency or off numbers.

Have you tried Ethernet on the pi pico RP2040 ?

Hi Bas, any change of getting this done on a pi pico?

@sokoloft3 2 года назад

Not the fastest thing. Unfortunately it doesn't work for my use case. Interesting nonetheless. I get my full network speed over usb. This ethernet adapter I only get 4Mbps max. Running cat on my trace log file takes a good 20 seconds over ethernet, on usb its maybe 5 seconds max.

@Ed19601 5 лет назад

The enc28j60 is not so difficult to connect with the available module to load. Supposedly also possible to use W5500, but a lot harder

@jinis2011 5 лет назад

Hi, do you happen to have instructions for W5200? not working for me. I have dtoverlay=W5200 in /boot/config.txt.

@cbhargava 7 лет назад

MAC address is permanent to the device. IP address can change. Also you can configure your router to assign a specific IP address to your Raspberry Pi (or adapter) using the MAC address of our device.

@basvandersluis5662 7 лет назад

Indeed. But this device gets a random MAC address every time the Pi boots, if you don't create one yourself. Normally a MAC address is a manufacturer + device ID, but this device just does not have one.

@cbhargava 7 лет назад

For ENC28J60 the software has to provide a MAC so if you don't provide one, it will get random MAC address.

@jonnyc2.047 6 лет назад

True true why not just add a USB? Hub. But USB hub with power supply include it with the hub so it has extra power because you're well aware USB for connected us BS you just get one with its own power supply, there are about 15 dollars for a nice win 5 to 10 of them. Cause they all have their own power supply can still use your ethernet that you want to use thats faster and still have mouse and all that

@dylancruz1131 5 лет назад

Is it possible to connect two of these to a RPI3? I am designing some Telephone equipment that will run TDM over Ethernet interface, So 10mbps is not an issue. I am wondering if I should invest any time with this solution or just use a USB Ethernet Adapter?

@henry55430 2 года назад

Hey! Lots of great info and thanks for the video! I'm trying to recycle an extra Pi zero I have lying around the house as an LTE modem. I'm thinking it's possible with a USB LTE dongle and an installation of OpenWRT. I was hoping to use this device to give the pi zero Ethernet without impeding on the existing USB port. Is a Mac address necessary to connect this directly to an Android device with a USB to Ethernet adapter? Would config of the pi be any different with OpenWRT installed?

@andigenous9101 2 года назад

@jonnyc2.047 6 лет назад

Why not you could if you use the USB hub? Gigabit Ethernet. Because I have no available USB ports, but you would.

@ibrahimaltaha3186 7 лет назад

i would like to ask, can we build HSR/PRP,,, or industrial standard using GPIO of the raspberry pi?

@basvandersluis5662 7 лет назад

Interesting question. I don't see why it would not be possible. Do you have a specific project in mind? Because I think in most cases it is probably easier and cheaper to just add a few more Raspberry Pi's to your project for redundancy instead of creating (only) ethernet redundancy.

@ibrahimaltaha3186 7 лет назад

Bas van der Sluis if you would like to help me. we can break the industrial market with such revolutionary idea. about zero redundant links. instead of using those 10000$ fpga dev kits

@ibrahimaltaha3186 7 лет назад

@dr.caitlinsnow459 4 года назад

Do you think it would be possible to desolder the RJ45 on that? I know its crazy but what I really need is access to the ethernet output, not the jack itself.

@basvandersluis5662 4 года назад

It is possible. The metal frame is soldered with two pins on the side, and the 8 pins are soldered though the board. So, no SMD-connections.

Add this program to your computer: nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_network_watcher.html And look for Raspberry Pi Foundation. So there is NO need to hookup to HDMI as mentioned at 12:48

@tuxberlin 7 лет назад

Would this work with a normal Pi3 as well ?

@basvandersluis5662 7 лет назад

Yes, but the Pi3 has an ethernet-adapter on board, so it's only useful for cases which require multiple ethernet adapters. Keep in mind that this ENC28J60 is a 10mbit adapter (and even half-duplex in this case), so it's fairly low speed. If your project needs multiple adapters, you would probably be better off with a usb ethernet adapter, since the Pi3 has 4 usb-sockets.

Could the zero support 2 ports with gigabit ethernet? or thats beyond its specs?

@basvandersluis5662 5 лет назад

No. 10 mbps is max. when using the gpio-ports. If you want multiple fast ports, you could try two USB ethernet adapters. The PI has USB2-ports, so the theoretical maximum would then be 480 mbps.

@JuanSanchez-rb4qu 5 лет назад

@@basvandersluis5662 but afaik usb2 bandwidth is way behind gigabit ethernet. I know the rpi3 (both A and B) have shields to add two ethernet ports but dont know if those would be gigabit or just 10/100

@basvandersluis5662 5 лет назад

Correct. USB 2 is max. 480 mbps where gigabit is 1000 mbps (or should it be 1024mbps ;). afaik the ethernet of the rpi 2 and 3 use the same controller as the usb ports, so the theoretical max. speed is still 480 mbps. I don't know about the shields, but the shields are using the gpio-pins...

@basvandersluis5662 6 лет назад

Thanks. I don't think that the GPIO ports are fast enough for 100 or even 1000 Mbit ethernet. If you want faster, you can go for a USB Ethernet module, but that is theoretically limited to 480 Mbit (max USB2.0 speed), but the Pi is probably not fast enough to reach that. Anyway, it's faster than the 10Mbit half duplex module of this video. :)

@jwuethrich8385 7 лет назад

u can set the micro usb port to apear as an ethernet adapter to any system that is a usb host. If you are running a linux router (ddwrt or openwrt...possibly some normal router firmware) or windows pc you can just plug it in and it and share ethernet. I connection mine to my router and told the router to bridge the interface to lan main when connected. Main advantage I can see for spi ethernet would be on like a pi 2 or 3 that one is using to run cameras they stream over ethernet. pi ethernet shares usb bus so you quickly run out of bandwidth. on a single core pi I think u will max the cpu before you run into shared usb bandwidth issues

@pahtriac 4 года назад

Werkt dit ook op de Pi 4?

@basvandersluis5662 4 года назад

Ja, dat denk ik wel. De Pi4 heeft echter genoeg USB-poorten en ethernet aan boord om het zonder deze oplossing te fixen. Een USB-ethernet dongle is veel sneller dan dit ding.

Dus zat er aan te denken om een HAT te maken voor de Pi4 met een 1Gb RJ45 met behulp van jouw bouw wijze, ik weet dat de bus van de USB gedeeld word met de onboard RJ45 doch weet niet of dat dit ook van toepassing is op de GPIO.

@@pahtriac Pfoe.. Ik weet niet of de GPIO-poorten voldoende snel zijn om een beetje knappe snelheid te halen. Het ding wat ik gebruikt heb haalde max. 10 mbit. Heb je een specifieke reden om zelf een router te bouwen?

Het enige wat mijn router nu nog doet is routen en meer niet. Losse acces-points in huis verzorgen de wifi.

Yes, I have found it very reliable. I've had open connections for days, using this unit. Never have I had any network issues because of this unit. The only thing which caused the Raspberry to hang was drawing to much power from other GPIO pins.

@AdditiveAvery 7 лет назад

Thank you for the reply. Where did you end up purchasing yours from? I need a couple hundred of these, and I have found Alibaba to be the cheapest, but the boards may look slightly different. How do I pick the best one? Average price on Alibaba is $2.25 USD when bought in bulk.

@AdditiveAvery 7 лет назад

Bas van der Sluis what would be the best way to setup a test to check reliability?

@basvandersluis5662 7 лет назад

I am not a systems administrator, but my guess would be setting up a ping to a server in the local network. Let it run for a couple of days (or hours) and check the amount of packet loss. Also, I think that stressing the CPU a couple of times while doing this ping is a good idea, because the CPU is mainly responsible for the GPIO pins.
