I understand that the Nano is currently limited to 1500 byte frames.
A product we are designing would benefit from use of the Nano instead of the GigaStax Rugged but we require jumbo frame capability. Is there a way to enable that?
Many thanks again!

Hey Jim,
The latest hardware revision of GigaBlox Nano (revision B, BB-GGN-B-1) added a footprint for an EEPROM to be added to the board. This EEPROM can then be loaded with firmware to try to enable jumbo frames on the main ethernet switch.
We’ll test this in the lab and, if we can get it working, will figure out how best to release this.
Thanks,
Josh
Thank you, Josh, for that reply. While we won’t be able to use the Nano in the new design yet, the capabilities the Rev B EEPROM may provide could well be vital such as we have now with the UbiSwitch management tool. We’ll be most interested in learning of your progress on that front.
Best to your team always!
