> And it has PoDL (PoE equivalent) too! Though at 5V/250mA, I think this is for the board to power sensors, not the board to receive power itself.
I dug through some documentation, and yes, it's PoDL source only.
I'm still holding out for someone to make a pair of devices: A is ethernet + spe + PoDL source, B is ethernet + spe + PoDL powered. Hopefully for not a lot of money.
It's hard to buy the first one when this board is only a little more expensive and comes with everything else (even if I don't need the everything else).
If I had circuit design skills and patience, I'd try to whip something up using the 'back to back' PHY mode, in theory, you connect a 10base-T1L PHY up to a 10base-T PHY, setup the proper 'straps', put in the right passive components, supply power, and that's it; no microcontroller required.
