Hi, Can the Gigastax switch be used in Managed mode? is there any firmware available for the MCU?

At present, not exactly.

We do have firmware available for the GigaStax that can be used to set specific registers on the board, but this is a static firmware, so it’s something that you set and forget.

This is unlike Unlike SwitchBlox Industrial or Rugged SoM (and UbiSwitch eventually), where it can be reconfigured on the go via a UART terminal.

If you have a static network setting you want to achieve, we share a firmware file with you to achieve this. If you’re looking for fully managed gigabit switch, better wait for UbiSwitch, which we are working on.
