From my limited testing it seems the the fsl\_mc and dpaa2 systems have the most support on u-boot firmware and not UEFI. Is there any on going work to possibly change this and add proper support for these systems when using UEFI firmware images. ---

Support in what sense? Beyond the initialization mechanism for mc-bin and dpaa2 is identical between edk2 and u-boot. Everything else is done through the userspace portion of the driver stack. If you require a newer mc-bin firmware then this can be added to the edk2-non-osi repository that is cloned in the lx2160a\_uefi build project and the Platform/SolidRun/LX2160aCex7/LX2160aCex7.fdf file, there are no other kernel changes required. ---

The sense that i have only managed to get the SFP+ ports to work when using a u-boot image and not a UEFI image ---

It could be due to the wrong version of restool, or the kernel config. What error message to you receive? I have been using 10Gbps SFP+ with DAC, Fiber, and ethernet, as well as using the network complex in standalone switch mode without issues. ---

I am running kernel `6.1.10-200.fc37.aarch64` and restool version `restool v2.4 (10.30.0 compatible)` the distro is Fedora 37 when I run l`s-addni dpmac.10` i get `MC error: Unsupported operation (status 0xb)`. Guessing from the restool version could there be a version missmatch between restool and fw? I am using the latest UEFI firmware that is available from [SolidRun Images](https://images.solid-run.com/LX2k/lx2160a_uefi) ---

I have solved the issue it was a version miss match between the restool package in FC37 which is restool-2.4.0-4.fc37.aarch64 and required version for it to work with the prebuilt UEFI image is 2.3 which can be obtained from FC34 `restool-2.3.0-1.fc34.aarch64`
