HSGMII firmware

Question

HSGMII firmware

stich86 opened this issue 3 years ago · 387 comments

I saw you post on lowyat.net about TWCGPON657 that should support HSGMII on LAN side (2.5Gbit/a). Looks like that also HiSense LTE3415 reports this protocol on the data sheet. Chipset is still RTL9601C.

Do you have any info about that firmware? Here in Italy we are struggling with the various LantiQ sticks (at the moment the only one that support 2.5 also on line side) but for particulars FTTH provider we cannot achieve full speed compared to external ONT

Thanks in advance

Answer 1 · 2022-02-27T07:47:18.000Z

Firmware for TWCGPON657 is there in Firmware folder, I not sure Firmware is interchangeable, however I haven't tried 2.5GbE since I don't have 2.5GbE capable SFP+ Router

Answer 2 · 2022-02-27T08:59:24.000Z

TWCGPON657

So we cannot use TWCGPON657 firmware on V2801F?

TWCGPON657 isn't available everywhere :(

Answer 3 · 2022-02-27T11:45:22.000Z

Yes, I have tried it, the PON laser didn't give any reading.

need someone reverse engineering rtl driver to support 2.5GbE

Do you have the TWGPON? Can be interesting to get an "nv getenv". Looks like that on the V2801F's kernel there are references to HiSGMII may be we just need to enable a flag on the uBoot or XML

Answer 6 · 2022-02-27T14:09:34.000Z

Thanks!

So can I flash TWGCP FW on V2801F as second image? I want to check if it can links at 2.5GbE

Because we are using uBoot it's easy to rollback using serial. Do you know if v2801f has UART exposed on SFP side?

Thanks again

Answer 7 · 2022-02-27T14:16:51.000Z

You can flash V2801F with TWCGPON657 firmware, you need tweak it to make PON Laser working which is I dont know yet...

There 3 different version C00R657V00B13 I not sure which one is 2.5GbE

C00R657V00B13_20191024.tar
C00R657V00B13_20191205.tar
B13_20200507.tar

You try all 3 and tell me which one support 2.5GbE, and check nv getenv especially sgmii_init= value

I have TWCGPON657 and V2801F stick, both stick are not expose UART on SFP even UART pin

Answer 8 · 2022-02-27T14:18:30.000Z

Which tweak is needed? Just use these tar file on the WebUI update?

Thx

Answer 9 · 2022-02-27T14:19:25.000Z

just flash it as usual, if not working, you need downgrade V2801F firmware first

Answer 10 · 2022-02-27T14:58:02.000Z

just flash it as usual, if not working, you need downgrade V2801F firmware first

Currently I'm using the latest firmware found here on your repo on my V2801F. I'll try it tonight an report back the findings ;)

Answer 11 · 2022-02-27T16:09:53.000Z

great...

if you plan to flash back V2801F firmware, set flash set PON_MODE 3 to prevent V2801F auto restart, because TWCGPON657 did not have VS_AUTH_KEY

flash set PON_MODE 3 in V2801F behavior is different, you need disconnect fiber then can get back telnet

Answer 12 · 2022-02-27T19:33:45.000Z

good and bad news...

good news: I was able to flash both 2019 and 2020 B13/B15 files on my V2801F. On first attempt i catch into /proc/kmsg this log:

<4>change mode to 5(HiSGMII MAC)

so looks like that the TWCGPON657 acts in a different way. also a "nv getenv" doesn't reports any difference between the two firmware. On the login page I was able to read the TX Power of laser, but not able to test with fiber attached.

Now the bad news

After some test I cannot logon anymore on the firmware :( i've tried all password but nothing to do, so i'm out and cannot access by telnet or web.

Do you know if there are a default credential that I can try?

thanks in advance

EDIT: i was able to login again with "system" password. I've tried also to attach the fiber and the stick cannot go ahead of O3 status.

Now my major problem is to fix the EEPROM. Looks like that the stick with the firmware from TWCGPON657 doesn't expose anything on that, and it cannot be enabled on my MacchiatoBIN to check if the link goes at 2500Base-SX

Any hits how to fix the EEPROM?

Answer 13 · 2022-02-27T20:39:25.000Z

a little update:

the code into kernel

<4>change mode to 5(HiSGMII MAC)

it's called when parameter LAN_SDS_MODE is set to 5.
Switch it to 1 reports <4>change mode to 1(Fiber 1G)

Now I cannot test it on my MacchiatoBIN because the eeprom is empty and Linux doesn't initialize the SFP port

@Anime4000 can you send me a cat /proc/kmsg of your TWCGPON657 with V2801F and LAN_SDS_MODE set to 5?

Thanks in advance

Answer 14 · 2022-02-27T20:57:18.000Z

BusyBox v1.12.4 (2020-10-26 08:35:57 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

# flash get LAN_SDS_MODE
LAN_SDS_MODE=2

That default value for my LAN_SDS_MODE

then I set LAN_SDS_MODE to 5 and do cat /proc/kmsg prints noting

then I flash get LAN_SDS_MODE also prints noting and stuck, I need CTRL+C

it seem V2801F firmware are not build to support 2.5GbE

can you try possible value for LAN_SDS_MODE ?

Value	Speed	`/proc/kmsg`
`1`	1GbE	`<4>change mode to 1(Fiber 1G)`
`2`	same like `1` with full bridge ??
`3`
`4`
`5`	2.5GbE	`<4>change mode to 5(HiSGMII MAC)`

I've tried also to attach the fiber and the stick cannot go ahead of O3 status.

you got RX reading?

Answer 15 · 2022-02-27T21:24:48.000Z

Regarding laser reading, this is my current situation:

I've tried LAN_SDS_MODE to 2-3-4 and there are all the reports on kmsg

<4>change mode to 2(SGMII PHY)
<4>change mode to 3(SGMII MAC)
<4>change mode to 4(HiSGMII PHY)

Now my main problem is the eeprom reading to test if the 2.5GbE it's working..
Your TWCGPON with V2801F reports valid eeprom?

Thanks

Answer 16 · 2022-02-27T21:41:47.000Z

I use EdgeRouter 12 can read EEPROM like this:

Ubiquiti use this kernel patch to allow reading RTL9601C1 EEPROM emulator, yes, RTL9601C1 didn't have EEPROM, it just emulating it.

for Mikrotik, I not sure, I need but the device to fully test.

what OS you using inside MacchiatoBIN?

On MCBIN I'm using OpenWRT snapshot. Before flashing TWCGPON firmware on V2801F, the stick was correctly recognized and the patch you have linked was working. Now the kernel Linux (and also my Ubiquiti switch) didn't recognize any info from the SFP.

It's strage because I'm assuming that the EEPROM should be generated by the OS (may be configd daemon?)..

Do you know if the stock can still be bought somewhere?

Answer 18 · 2022-02-27T22:18:09.000Z

there is 2 option I can think of,

modify TWCGPON657 firmware with squashfs-tools and qemu-user-static you can copy configd from V2801F to TWCGPON657
try DFP-34X-2C2 firmware

I bought TWCGPON657 here

need to login, use google chrome to translate page without proxy/iframe

I notice LAN_SDS_MODE have PHY (Layer 1) and MAC (Layer 2), have you try 2 or 4 (PHY) if made a different ?

As I've said until I have problems with the eeprom the OpenWrt on my MCBIN doesn't initialize the SFP port :(

Regarding DFP-34X-2C2 firmware, is it working on V2801F?

Sorry, this mean SFP has no connection? ~ 6 am here I haven't sleep 🤣

Regarding DFP-34X-2C2 firmware, is it working on V2801F?

This one I not tried yet, because my V2801F has been dead for 1 year because invalid VS_AUTH_KEY, my plan to read NAND flash and modify it

Answer 21 · 2022-02-27T22:52:50.000Z

The problem is that on Linux kernel SFP needs to pass various steps, in my case the SFP_MOD_PROBE that check the EEPROM doesn't pass validation and so the cage is not enabled. Unifi switch is less restrictive but it's only 1Gbit/s device so I cannot test HSGMII@2.5GbE

I don't understand one thing: if I revert back to the V2810F firmware what's are the correct step to follow and avoid boot loop?

Thanks

Answer 22 · 2022-02-28T04:14:27.000Z

I see

to revert back V2801F firmware, do this:

Downgrade TWCGPON657 firmware to B13
flash set PON_MODE 3
Upgrade V2801F firmware latest
After updated, flash set VS_AUTH_KEY

doing PON_MODE 3 will put stick in Fiber Ethernet mode, disconnect fiber until updated VS_AUTH_KEY

Answer 23 · 2022-02-28T07:26:27.000Z

ok so PON_MODE 3 avoid auto-reboot right?

Today i'll try to force a link (with clean up sfp.c on kernel) to see if the stick can negotiate at 2500

Answer 24 · 2022-02-28T15:43:24.000Z

@Anime4000 are you able to dump the flash using SOP8 clip?
I want to make a dump with currently working stick, because if something goes wrong I can rollback to a working stick

Thanks in advance

about this test, it went bad :(
i think that EEPROM should be populated in the right way, otherwise the PHY media cannot be activated.. so next step after possibility to flash the NAND i'll try to create an hybrid firmware as suggested: uImage from TWCGPON and rootfs from V2801F

Answer 26 · 2022-02-28T20:25:30.000Z

@Anime4000

May be i've found where the parameter LAN_SDS_MODE is readed and configured

the file that change the behaviour is runlansds.sh

on the V2810F this is the code:

#!/bin/sh

echo 1 > proc/lan_sds/lan_sds_cfg
echo 1 > proc/lan_sds/sfp_app
sfpapp &

while TWCGPON657 is parsing the mode from XML file and set it based on the value on it:

#!/bin/sh

lan_sds_mode=`flash get LAN_SDS_MODE | sed 's/LAN_SDS_MODE=//g'`
echo $lan_sds_mode > proc/lan_sds/lan_sds_cfg
echo 1 > proc/lan_sds/sfp_app
sfpapp &

So I think that V2801F with modded files and new rootfs can change this behaviour.

Now i've to flash back my stick and try..

Answer 27 · 2022-03-01T02:39:57.000Z

Nice finding... 👍

I also manage to update qemu script
https://github.com/Anime4000/RTL9601C1/tree/main/Tools/emulator

making thing easier!

I notice /bin/sfpapp didn't exist in TWCGPON657 firmware

Answer 28 · 2022-03-01T13:38:30.000Z

Little update:

this morning i've repacked the V2801F firmware changing the file runlansds.sh
LAN_SDS_MODE was set to 2. Now the stick is up (ethernet link) but I cannot access it anymore..

So i've only two way to restore:

dump the flash and change the active image on the mtd1/mtd2 partition
try to find the UART TX/RX on the RTL9601CI to see what's going on

If I have any news i'll update this thread

Answer 29 · 2022-03-01T14:13:21.000Z

I have tried with my own stick echo 5 > proc/lan_sds/lan_sds_cfg

yes, it make stick stuck, it seem V2801F not build 2.5GbE in mind, I also notice TWCGPON657 firmware missing /bin/sfpapp

yes.. i've tried before flash the stick thinking that needs to be change on boot :(
have you tried to flash firmware of DFP-34X-2C2 on V2801F? looks like this stick read the LAN_SDS_MODE and also the file runlansds.sh is correct

I suggest to change the documentations, at the moment V2810F with stock firmware doesn't support anything than 1 has LAN_SDS_MODE

Answer 31 · 2022-03-01T18:50:41.000Z

my V2801F is broken 😢 due to VS_AUTH_KEY and aother stuff, I not sure which BIOS/NAND programmer can read and write

I will update the doc about V2801F not suppor 2.5GbE

you can read/write the NAND using a CH341a USB programmer and some adaptor for WSON8 chip.

On my last attempt I was able to fix it, but then i've broken the NAND :(
Now i'm currently waiting to have some time to remove the NAND from the PCB and substitute with another one.

Answer 33 · 2022-03-19T20:41:34.000Z

I've received today my DFP-34X-2C2 from AliExpress. There is the latest firmware available onboard (2021-05). Changing the LAN_SDS_MODE to 5 (live via Telnet and not changing flash parameter), force the quirk on OpenWRT (running on MacchiatoBIN), I was able to negotiate the LAN size @ 2.5GbE :)

Now I've to test these things:

if this stick can go on O5 and if in HISGMII mode works as expected
wait my new FTTH with 2.5/1 profile to test if I can reach full bandwidth

Keep you updated :)

Answer 34 · 2022-03-20T20:20:14.000Z

Two updates:

I've restored (removing NAND and flash it back) my V2810F. Stock firmware doesn't work in HiSGMII mode (link loss and nothing else..)
it likes the ODI (DFP-34X-C2C) firmware, here is a screenshot where the laser information are recognized:

Now with ODI DFP original stick (not the V2801F cross-flashed) I'm stuck in o3 because stick tries to do LoID authentication (and my provider doesn't need it) so I've to understood why :(

Answer 35 · 2022-03-24T11:38:36.000Z

I received DFP-34X-C2C from Ali Express by ANDDEARSS Store

During my investigation...

This stick run <4>change mode to 3(SGMII MAC) cause my RB5009 cannot communicate even having OK LINK, need full power down, power on then manage to enter 192.168.1.1

after enter webgui, set GPON_PLOAM_PASSWD alone my Fiber Vendor wont send GEM and T-CONT info

Then I set what my Fiber Vendor required

flash set GPON_PLOAM_PASSWD 1234567890
flash set OMCI_FAKE_OK 1
flash set OMCI_OLT_MODE 1
flash set GPON_ONU_MODEL HG8240H
flash set PON_VENDOR_ID HWTC
flash set HW_HWVER BF9.A

Problem is, this stick run as Router Mode, need add Bridge and VLAN
Fiber Vendor VLAN:

VLAN	Desc
`209`	ISP 1 `tr069`
`400`	ISP 1 VoIP
`500`	ISP 1 Internet
`600`	ISP 1 IPTV
`621	ISP 2 Internet
`821`	ISP 2 `tr069`
`822`	ISP 2 VoIP
`823`	ISP 2 IPTV

I am using ISP 2, DFP-34X-C2C only manage to bridge vlan209, not vlan621 which I use

I run flash set LAN_SDS_MODE 5... my RB5009 SFP+ failed to negotiate 2.5GbE

hard lesson learned @stich86 😆

Answer 36 · 2022-03-24T12:18:50.000Z

RB5009 on SFP+ doesn't sync at 2500baseSX, only 1GbE or 10GbE.
But I can assume that this stick can sink at 2.5. Now I've a problem reaching O5 :(

Answer 37 · 2022-03-24T12:37:00.000Z

@stich86

Yea, hardware support it if use OpenWRT on RB5009, just ROS 7 not support it.

I buy TP-XDR5480 that have native 2.5GbE so I can set back to proper LAN_SDS_MODE

your ODI firmware seem old a bit: 2021-05

my stick using: 2021-07

I have upload the firmware, try that, it has half success to connect 😅

ah ok, it's useless with just a 2.5 GbE port :(
i don't know if can be imported, may be we can swap only rootFS (keeping the kernel)..

i'll try on my V2801F

Answer 41 · 2022-03-24T13:42:43.000Z

that TP Link has one SFP 2.5GbE Support, 4 LAN Port and WiFi

I buy TWCGPON657 from Taobao, can import here.

the firmware package have uImage and rootfs. which kernel to keep?

i think to test HSGMII we should take kernel from DFP and rootFS from V2801F, like someone else has done for UF-Instant

do you have an internal photos of TWCGPON657?
just to understand if it's similar to DFP-34X-C2C.. i've found two pads near RTL9601C chip, may be are UART pinout

Answer 44 · 2022-03-24T13:49:30.000Z

I use TWCGPON657 Stick (with V2801F Firmware) currently, take out cause no Internet~

I have tried DFP-34X-C2C with V2801F Firmware, stick keep reboot

I tried V2801F with DFP-34X-C2C Firmware, stick died 😢

Usually kernel reside at uImage, like Linux Desktop can choose kernel.

I try compare uImage see what different

remote buy like, Taobao to Malaysia, then I ship back to you: Malaysia to Italy?
I need contact my Local Logistic how much cost to ship 😄

yes V2801F has a smaller kernel, looks like they have removed all "router mode" stuff
regarding "remote shipping", if we can check the internal board of TWCGPON657, we can see if it's similar to DFP-34X-C2C or not

Answer 48 · 2022-03-24T14:21:08.000Z

okay, I try take all picture of V2801F, TWCGPON657 and DFP-34X-C2C

I got DFP-34X-C2C with newer SFP casing

Compared with TWCGPON657, nearly all similar:

I afraid to try 2.5GbE on V2801F since I dont have NAND Programmer

What I want, make DFP-34X-C2C able to bridge like V2801F, not sure how to do it...

someone just replace europa related driver and work like this:
#2 (comment)

Answer 49 · 2022-03-24T14:25:18.000Z

DFP-34X-C2C doesn't use europa like UF-Instant :)
we can try to swap just rootFS on the DFP (so it will use omci_app and all other stuff from V2801F)

i've to fix the Image_A on my V2801 and then try to flash using WebUI.. if something get wrong i need to desolder e reflash the NAND ^_^"

Answer 50 · 2022-03-24T14:38:35.000Z

DFP-34X-C2C doesn't use europa like UF-Instant :)

I have checked both rootfs

For file /etc/scripts/insert_europa.sh.
DFP-34X-C2C have it,

V2801F don't have

check rcS DFP-34X-C2C all inside /etc/init.d seem no one script touch insert_europa.sh

as you say, DFP-34X-C2C dont use insert_europa.sh

I can't try because my DFP-34X-C2C cannot nego 2.5GbE with RB5009,

I might try boot OpenWRT on RB5009 see if can nego 2.5GbE

Answer 51 · 2022-03-24T14:53:39.000Z

i think 2.5GbE is another issue..
At the moment to get that sync (in HiSGMII mode) you need particular hardware, like MacchiatoBIN, Unifi Switch or BCM Card with patched driver

let's try to see if V2801F can boot with DFP-34X-C2C kernel and V2801F rootfs, that should solve both problem :)

Yea,
MacchiatoBIN too expansive, so I buy that TP-Link just for 99 USD

let's try to see if V2801F can boot with DFP-34X-C2C kernel and V2801F rootfs, that should solve both problem :)

this in my main priority!

Since we going to use original uImage, replace runlansds.sh with ODI, this way we can use 2.5GbE

UF-Instant V2801F modified

other files is same!

Answer 53 · 2022-03-24T18:45:58.000Z

I have modified firmware for TWCGPON657

Using original uImage (B15)
Using V2801F rootfs (V1.9.0-201104)
- Using modified Замена.rar
- Using original runlansds.sh

I also fix various stuff like, update webgui using latest HTML5 standard

That I modified by self 😄

Here internal of TWCGPON657

winbond 25q128jvsq

I open it because...

I was trying to flash my modified rootfs, I forgot to set LAN_SDS_MODE 1 before flash
V2801F always force LAN_SDS_MODE 1, so new script runlansds.sh cause it

Either wait TP-Link TL-XDR5480 to fix or read-write NAND Flash via programmer? how to do that?

Answer 56 · 2022-03-24T22:05:39.000Z

My DFP-34X-C2C looks very similar to your TWCGP.
I don't understand what you have done.

I've restore my V2810F desoldering NAND (using heat gun) and a CH341a programmer. Essentially I've done a dump and changed the "sw_commited" on uBoot to load the other image that doesn't use LAN_SDS_MODE.

DFP and TWCGP use SOIP8 format that should be more easy to read with a clip without soldering. Because you may be will read the flash soldered, it necessary to power SFP from outside source and avoid powering the NAND. This is beacause if you try to power NAND from CH341a, the current flow pass to the PCB and tries to bring up all the stick

Answer 57 · 2022-03-25T04:12:02.000Z

Oh, I understand

I have TWCGPON657 bin file, it should look similar?

The golden pads in the above picture look more like EJTAG if they are positioned around pins 15-19.

The previous RTL9601B chip with 88 pins had UART RX on pin 30 and UART TX on pin 31. Try tracing with a multimeter to see if any test points or pads end up there.

Nice picture. If the mapping is similar (RTL9601C has fewer pin, just 19), on the TWCGP looks like there are two traces that is going directly to the PIN on SFP connector.. may be these are RX/TX UART. I've to take apart my DFP (that's more similar to TWCGP, may be I've an old revision) and check these traces

Answer 73 · 2022-03-26T01:10:17.000Z

Just out of curiosity, I checked the 1-port ONT I bought recently. Inside is RTL9601D, also 88 pins. On the PCB there is a place for UART connector. RX and TX traced back to pins 24 and 25.

So starting from bottom, these two PINs are the UART? i've also two free pads..

Thx

Answer 78 · 2022-03-26T19:24:13.000Z

Very likely, that would make sense. It looks like the pads are connected to pins 24 and 25. Need only RX and GND to quickly verify.
I also got a V2801F clone. I will test it on Monday as my weekend is very busy.

Answer 79 · 2022-03-27T07:20:25.000Z

I buying CH341a & Hot Air Station
What is the temperature to safely remove SOIC-8 chip in °C? so I didn't burn other thing...

Here comparison between VSOL V2801F, TWCGPON657, ODI DFP-34X-C2C (2022)

Answer 80 · 2022-03-27T08:38:40.000Z

I've removed the NAND at about 350C.
Get also flux that will help on remove and resold ;)

Answer 81 · 2022-03-27T10:39:43.000Z

ok i've tested this morning on my DFP-32, the "square" pad is TX, the other is RX

Answer 82 · 2022-03-27T12:07:14.000Z

oh, RTL9601D...

GND and Power in which pin?

Answer 83 · 2022-03-27T12:10:37.000Z

oh, RTL9601D...

GND and Power in which pin?

I've powered it thru SFP slot with break board. PIN 15/16 for VCC 3.3 and and PIN 10 GND

Answer 84 · 2022-03-27T12:33:07.000Z

oh, alright, I try with my DFP stick,

can you try with DFP uImage & V2801F rootfs on this DFP?

Answer 85 · 2022-03-27T14:12:25.000Z

oh, alright, I try with my DFP stick,

can you try with DFP uImage & V2801F rootfs on this DFP?

I was able to reach O5 with my DFP, so I hope for tuesday to test it at 2.5GbE.
In meantime i'll try to see if I can get TTL form V2801F, and i'll try your image on that stick, currently I don't want to screw up my DFP and I don't need any port emulation for my ISP :)

oh, that's sad for me...
DFP only able to bridge VLAN 209 (Huawei ONU Management) but not other VLAN...

I not sure how to scan VLAN that seen by stick, I don't think double layer VLAN is exist.

I waiting CH341a to flash TWCGPON657 NAND, I saw you give me B16 version.

I just wanted V2801F Firmware on RTL960x family stick, it would fix most of people.

just now I tried UART on my ODI, I use RB3011 SFP cage for power, not working..... CP210x reading broken...

do I need connect all 4 UART pin to work?

Answer 87 · 2022-03-27T15:27:25.000Z

No, just TX/RX. If you are powering from SFP cage GND and VCC are not needed.
On your version square pad should be connected to RX on CP2101 and circle to T
Are you connecting in this way?

Answer 88 · 2022-03-27T15:58:14.000Z

Yes

DFP	CP2101
TX	RX
RX	TX

during RB3011 power on, putty spit out broken char and RB3011 stuck, the RB3011 LCD just white

Answer 89 · 2022-03-27T15:59:48.000Z

Yes

| DFP | CP2101 |

|--------|---------------|

| TX | RX |

| RX | TX |

during RB3011 power on, putty spit out broken char and RB3011 stuck, the RB3011 LCD just white

It's just a guess..
Can you try to power the stick with an SFP break board or Molex? May be when the stick is attached to an SFP port the TTL is disabled

Answer 90 · 2022-03-27T16:16:59.000Z

I buying CH341a & Hot Air Station What is the temperature to safely remove SOIC-8 chip in °C? so I didn't burn other thing...

While shopping, don't forget to stock up on Kapton heat-resistant tape to protect nearby components and thin 36AWG 0.28 mm Teflon wire for flexible connection to tiny pins on the PCB.

Answer 91 · 2022-03-27T16:20:59.000Z

ok i've tested this morning on my DFP-32, the "square" pad is TX, the other is RX

So DFP-32 has RTL9601D not RTL9601C?

To summarize:
RTL9601B 88-pins
RTL9601C 76-pins
RTL9601D 88-pins

Answer 92 · 2022-03-27T16:37:06.000Z

I guess SFP attach to device making corrupted reading...
I buy SFP breakout board

I have kapton tape, use to repair laptop motherboard 😅

so...
firmware are not interchangeable?

I found cause V2801F restart when invalid VS_AUTH_KEY, this can be cracked right? put false in the if or delete reboot()

Answer 93 · 2022-03-27T16:40:15.000Z

I am going to test the tx and rx in this sfp... because there is corrupt motivation here.

Answer 94 · 2022-03-27T16:44:49.000Z

so... firmware are not interchangeable?

I guess it depends on the firmware. If it's built as unified, it should recognize other boards.
At this point I was more concerned about the placement of the UART pins

76-pins vs 88-pins

Answer 96 · 2022-03-27T16:55:55.000Z

Nice 👍
Eventually we will need also a placeholder for RTL9601C and possibly another column for UART pin information.

I guess it depends on the firmware. If it's built as unified, it should recognize other boards. At this point I was more concerned about the placement of the UART pins

76-pins vs 88-pins

yes, as i've said on my V2801F there is running DFP32 21-05-XX image.
Laser is recognized, so the board is working as expected.

Now that we know of the 88-pins the UART localtion, is time to find the 76-pins.
I can try to on my stick in the next few days

I also tried flash ODI DFP firmware on my V2801F stick, it's get killed, stick feel cold 😢

Answer 99 · 2022-03-28T11:05:14.000Z

it's recommend to buy SPI NAND Flash? just in case I killed it...

should be same part number winbond 25q128jvsq or something in similar?

Answer 100 · 2022-03-28T14:08:46.000Z

I know why my V2801F stick dead, because of this default:
