I recently purchased a ubiswitch and baseboard for a project, and it’s since evolved to the point where I need to be able to assign Vlans on the fly. I don’t mind it being uart commands is there a way I can get a piece of software on the switch that will enable that feature. ---

We’re working on that as we speak. It will be firmware that runs on the board and allows you configure VLANs over a CLI using the UART port. Current ETA on this is End of March 2024. If you have a revision B module, you can flash this firmware yourself. If you have a revision A module, however, it will not work with this firmware because it uses a different microcontroller. ---

FYI, look for BB-UBS- **B** -1 printed on the front. ---

Any update on the ETA for the UbiSwitch firmware? ---

ETA 1-2 weeks. Lookout for an email and forum announcement from us. ---

I am also waiting for the firmware that make it possible to create Vlans and controlling port speed. Problem is that i have A type ubiswitch. As I understand the A board wil not work with this firmware, and it will never do? Need to purchase a new then? ---

Yes it will never work with revision A modules, only revision B modules will have this capability, so you would need to purchase a revision B module. ---

Hmm, we also have rev A. What is the blocker for this to work? I wouldn’t mind investing a bit of my own time to port the tool to a different STM, if that’s the only problem. Or is there something else? ---

The microcontroller on rev A doesn’t have enough RAM, there’s no way around that. ---

So, it doesn’t have enough RAM for the whole app you’re developing, but technically, a subset of it or a program setting static configuration could be used? ---

Yes static is possible. But not enough to run Zephyr with the full CLI interface we’ve built. That needs something more beefy. ---

Beta software release is ready, we are writing up documentation this week and aiming for release by Friday. Could be delayed an extra few days until Wednesday next week though. I don’t see it being delayed any more than that.
