I've implemented bit-banged 100 Mbit/s Ethernet UDP transmission on the RP2040/RP2350. That is sufficient to transfer the data of the internal ADC overclocked to 5 MSPS and digitize some IF signal...
@steve_m I guess without a cooler it'll be wiser to do #10BaseT instead for longterm stability...
@kkarhan What do you mean? The MCU is running at 250 MHz (double the Ethernet bit rate), with normal core voltage. It doesn't even get warm.

@steve_m really?

Huh...

Next thing you gonna tell me you're OpenSourcing it as a.general-pirpose Ethernet adaptor to DIY with pinout and firmware to fladh and add a socket to...

@kkarhan Yeah, I'll release it as OSS in the next weeks after ironing out some things and doing some proper host-side receive code.
@steve_m Cool, cuz that'll certainly make it a nifty choice for many projects...
@kkarhan @steve_m "Nifty" as in "Hackish as hell but actually cool" 😅
