WGI210 with pin strapping option and no SW programming

Hi there,

 

is it possible to use the WGI210 with some HW pin strapping so we don't have to use SW to program  the device?

 

Kind regards

Hi HERJER,


Thank you for reaching out to the Intel Community.


We appreciate you reaching out to us regarding the reported issue. Upon checking, the Intel WGI210 does not natively support configuration via hardware pin strapping to bypass the need for software programming entirely. This is because the Intel I210 family relies on an EEPROM or iNVM (integrated Non-Volatile Memory) for its configuration, which is typically loaded during initialization.


For further information, you can refer to the I210 datasheet:
