Hi, You mention that one of the aims here is to eventually support SFPs. Do you have a plan to solve the current problem with the DPAA2 structure, where the physical network interfaces are configured at boot time by RCW for their operating mode? If you want full SFP support, then you will need to dynamically reconfigure the network interfaces. For example, 10G NBASE-T SFP+ modules will dynamically switch between 10GBASE-R (XFI), 5000BASE-X, 2500BASE-X, and SGMII depending on the copper side link speed. The PHY may also support UXSGMII but it doesn't power up that way and it is not known whether it is possible or how to change the interface mode to UXSGMII. Then there's the whole issue of SGMII vs 1000BASE-X SFPs, and fiber channel SFPs that can operate at 2500BASE-X. Thanks. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up
