Ethernet technology is designed to transmit data over a channel using wired technology at
            different link speeds. It uses cables to transmit data in network models, such as Local
            Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) for a reliable, secure, and better
            network connectivity.

Ethernet connectivity is integrated into IoT devices and sensors, enabling them to
            transmit data to the network. It is defined under IEEE 802.3 standards and provides a
            standardized interface for these devices to communicate with gateways.

Qualcomm® Linux suite provides Ethernet features, architecture, and
            tools that enable you to develop Ethernet applications on RB3 Gen 2 platform.
            Additionally, it offers capabilities to bring up Ethernet functionality, configure its
            features, and enable logging to debug issues.
