I have a design using the CYW43907 with the Broadcom BCM5241A PHY.  The Broadcom BCM5241A Ethernet PHY has gone End Of Life.  To implement a new PHY device, I need to provide a new configuration using the PHY's management interface.  Where is the code in WICED to access the management interface?

Regards,

Dan

Hi,

Some BCM5241 parts might be obsolete in digikey. But we don't see any report of BCM5241 EOL in the official  page. 

Thanks,

We used the software from platform CYW943907AEVAL1F as a starting point for our software.

Hi @DaMi_1309266 ,

BCM5241 is EOL.

I am not creating a new design. I am trying to maintain the existing one in WICED.

I have attached a working solution that replaces the end of life BCM5241 PHY with the LAN8741AI PHY.
