It works!

I finally got the finished PCB for the ybox2 in the mail yesterday. I populated it last night, but I ended up running out of parts. A quick run to Fry's combined with some early-morning soldering, and behold...

It works! Woo-hoo! Now comes the hard part: the Propeller TCP/IP stack.

I actually plan on writing an IPv6 stack first, and then building an IPv4 stack on top of it. I'll be using the ENC28J60/SP driver from PropTCP as a starting point.

    I love this board. I'm going to have to make one. =) One question, what prevented you from using POE? The LM5071 would even allow PoE/Local power.

    @Lee: I left out POE because I wanted the whole board to be assembled using thru-hole components, to make it easy to build for everyone. There just isn't enough room on the board to add POE unless all of the ICs were surface mount.
