class YT8512H - YT8512H PHY Control

2025-04-27

This class controls Ethernet NIC devices of YT8512H and SZ18201 .

Currently, only EC600A module series support this feature.

Constructor

ethernet.YT8512H 

class ethernet.YT8512H(mac, ip='', subnet='', gateway='')

Loads YT8512H driver, initializes YT8512H phy device and returns YT8512H NIC object.

Parameter:

  • mac - Byte stream. MAC address with a length of 6 bytes.
  • ip - IP address of Ethernet NIC. The default value is an empty string'', indicating that the default IP address is 192.168.1.100 in the program.
  • subnet - Subnet mask address of Ethernet NIC. The default value is an empty string'', indicating that 255.255.255.0 is used as the subnet mask.
  • gateway - Gateway address of Ethernet NIC. The default value is an empty string'', indicating that the last bit of IP address is replaced with 1 as the gateway address.

Methods

YT8512H.set_addr 

nic.set_addr(ip, subnet, gateway)

Configures NIC static IP Address.

Parameter:

  • ip - ip address of Ethernet NIC. The value is an empty string'', indicating that the default IP address is 192.168.1.100 in the program.
  • subnet - Subnet mask address of Ethernet NIC. The value is an empty string'', indicating that 255.255.255.0 is used as the subnet mask.
  • gateway - Gateway address of Ethernet NIC. The value is an empty string'', indicating that the last bit of IP address is replaced with 1 as the gateway address.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

Other values - Failed execution

  • Example 
nic.set_addr('192.168.1.100', '', '')

YT8512H.set_dns 

nic.set_dns(primary_dns, secondary_dns)

Configures NIC DNS server.

Parameter:

  • primary_dns - Primary address of DNS server.
  • secondary_dns - Secondary address of DNS server.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

Other values - Failed execution

Example: 

nic.set_dns('8.8.8.8', '114.114.114.114')

YT8512H.set_up 

nic.set_up()

Enables NIC and then NIC processes network interfaces and messages normally.

YT8512H.set_down 

nic.set_down()

Disables NIC and then NIC no longer processes network interfaces and messages.

YT8512H.dhcp 

nic.dhcp()

Obtains dynamic IP. This method is used in the terminal mode so that IP information can be automatically obtained.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

Other values - Failed execution

YT8512H.ipconfig 

nic.ipconfig()

Obtains NIC network information. MAC address, host name, IP address type, IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS server address can be obtained through this method.

Return Value:

List type.

The format is as follows:

[(mac, hostname), (iptype, ip, subnet, gateway, primary_dns，secondary_dns)].

Parameter Type Description
mac str mac address and the format is 'XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX' .
hostname str NIC name
iptype str ip type. 4 indicates IPv4 and 6 indicates IPv6 . Currently, only IPv4 is supported.
ip str IP address
subnet str Subnet mask
gateway str Gateway address
primary_dns str Primary address of DNS server
secondary_dns str Secondary address of DNS server

YT8512H.set_default_NIC 

nic.set_default_NIC(ip)

Configures the default NIC.

Parameter:

  • ip - Default NIC IP address.

Return Value:

0 - Successful execution

Other values - Failed execution

Example: 

nic.set_default_NIC('192.168.1.100')

YT8512H.status 

nic.status()

Obtains NIC current status.

Return Value:

Tuple type.

The format is as follows:

(dev, active, link).

Parameter Type Description
dev bool Whether NIC device is normally connected. True and False respectively indicate that NIC device is connected and is not connected.
active bool Whether NIC is activated. True and False respectively indicate enable and disable, which correspond to set_up and set_down .
link bool Whether the network cable of NIC is connected. True and False respectively indicate the network cable is connected and is not connected.
