Hi!

Which ports are SFP28 and SFP+?

 ![Screenshot_2024-07-06_18.01.08](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/solid_run/original/1X/64b623949308b723efe63804df13d286fd9d0d6b.jpeg)

I’m right that the both right are SFP+ and both left SFP28?

SFP28 → dpmarc.3 and 4  
SFP+ → dpmarc 5 and 6

Thanks for clarifaction

Which carrier do you have the LX2162a SOM connected to, and which firmware SERDES configuration is the bootloader built for?

The bootloader is fresh from the factory of solidrun. I only upgraded the OS to a docker builded ubuntu 22.04 without installing xspi to the SPI. The docker build has clearfog\_18\_9\_0 as SERDES.

I want to flash clearfog\_18\_9\_0. I put the LAN cable in dpmarc.16 but it’s hasn’t a connection to TFTP server neither i can ping it also with dhcp command in u-boot it’s dosen’t get a IP.

Why?

I found out that the SPF Ports only provide 2W

```auto
[4.374882] sfp sfp-at: No tx_disable pin: SFP modules will always be emitting.
[4.382730] libphy: SFP I2C Bus: probed

```

I used 10gtek AZS13-S28-10 SFP28 on every SFP port of LX2162a but fails on port from dpmac.3-dpmac.6

SERDES is LX2168A\_Clearfog\_18\_9\_0

```auto

> `Host maximum power 2.0W`

That power-limit is purely a safety setting in our device-tree’s. It is based on the cooling capacity of our default cages, not a limit on the board. If you provide adequate power and cooling you can increase the wattage allowed via the device-tree.

`maximum-power-milliwatt = <2000>;`
