Unless changes to the RMII are needed, it should be pretty straightforward to add ethernet support for DISCO-F746NG:

According to this Microchip page, the LAN8742 PHY is a drop-in replacement for the LAN8720 PHY. As they only mention the hardware part, i assume the 8720 driver can be used with the 8742 PHY, allbeit not all functions of the 8742 will be available as it uses additional registers (eg: LAN cable check, WOL, ...).

Another option would be to use the PicoTCP library and add a LAN8742 driver:

Accepted Answer

Did this prove to be working?

Hello,

is there ethernet connector on that board? Anyway, no ST boards supports ethernet on mbed at the moment.

Hello, does mbed still not support ethernet on ST boards(STM32L152RE)
