Getting UbiSwitch ports working with a 1G SFP

Further to the post by @botblox_support above, this feature is now available for UbiSwitch in software! No soldering SM1 bridge is required! Changing the PCS mode on ports 9 and 10 can be done using the BloxOsLite CLI.

Steps:

  1. Ensure you have version 0.4.0 or above installed on your UbiSwitch. See here for public releases and here for documentation on updates over UART.
  2. Boot up UbiSwitch and then connect a 3.3V TTL UART-USB converter to open a serial console on your dev machine.
  3. Follow the instructions for setting PCS mode on ports 9 and 10 here
  4. Some examples:

port 9 mac mode 10gbaser for 10Gb SFP that does not support inband auto-negotiation with port MAC.

port 10 mac mode 1000basex for 1Gb SFP fiber.
