Does ai-on-the-edge-cam board have the exact same W5500 Ethernet setup as the ESP32 Stick POE P CAM board?

Does ai-on-the-edge-cam board have the exact same W5500 Ethernet setup as the ESP32 Stick POE P CAM board?

I am attempting to use the exact same code that worked for the ESP32 Stick POE P CAM W5500 board, on the ai-on-the-edge-cam board, but I get the following error:

OSError: esp_eth_driver_install failed after SPI initialization appears to be successful. For example…

{SPI(id=1, baudrate=40000000, polarity=0, phase=0, bits=8, firstbit=0, sck=21, mosi=1, miso=14)}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 600, in Main
  File "<stdin>", line 516, in Initialize
OSError: esp_eth_driver_install failed

The W5500 support in MicroPython notes this error as just as it says, the ethernet port initialization failed. Is there anything different on the ai-on-the-edge-cam board in reference to the W5500 support?

OK… Got it… Going over the schematics in detail, I realized the Ethernet functionality is only enabled when Pin 45 is set high, similar to the SMDs are only enabled when Pin 46 is to high.

Just curious why this was done, was it to comply with the existing ‘AI on the edge’ specification? Are you planning to do this on other boards in the future?
