The OS81082/92 Evaluation Boards are complete network devices, utilizing SMSC's OS81082/92 Intelligent Network Interface Controller (INIC) managed by an on-board External Host Controller (EHC). They operate stand alone without any connected PC.
It is useful for programmers who want to edit/modify EHC code as well as users who simply want to work with default on-board firmware.

Since the OS81082/92 Evaluation Boards are delivered with schematics and source code explamples, they provide a platform for comprehensive understanding of a network device.
