24p POE+ 4sfp

This is an Fullriver FR-S3128GT-370P2 managed multi-gigabit POE+ (370W) Ethernet switche.

Architecture Overview

The switch makes use of the various SerDeS units on the RTL9301.

1?	RTL8218D	QSGMII	5 - 7
2?	RTL8218D	XSGMII	8 - 15
3?	RTL8218D	XSGMII	16 - 23
4?	SFP+	10GBase-R	24
6?	SFP+	10GBase-R	25
8?	SFP+	10GBase-R	26

4 Uplink ports are SFP+ cages which support 10GBit Base-X mini GBIC modules.

Power is supplied via a 100V-24-V 10A standard IEC connector. A Serial header can be connected to from the outside of the switch trough the RJ45 'console' port with a standard cisco 'blue' pinout. Serial connection is via 115200 baud, 8N1.

GPIO's

By looking at 0xb8003300 from U-Boot, we can see the GPIO's toggling the bits. Inserting an SFP module into the SFP port triggers 'some' GPIO, either ABS or something else as the pinout doesn't seem to match exactly. TBC.

GPIO00 sysled
GPIO01 External watchdog disable (NC)
GPIO02 External watchdog ping (NC)
GPIO03 reset button
GPIO04 GPIO I2C_CLK to fan controller (NC)
GPIO05 GPIO I2C_DATA to fan controller (NC)
GPIO06 EN PHY (NC)
GPIO07 SDC
GPIO08 port24 (sfp0) SDA
GPIO09 port25 (sfp1) SDA
GPIO10 port26 (sfp2) SDA
GPIO11 port27 (sfp3) SDA
GPIO12 port24 (sfp0) TXD
GPIO13 port24 (sfp0) LOS
GPIO14 port25 (sfp1) TXD
GPIO15 port25 (sfp1) LOS
GPIO16 port26 (sfp2) TXD
GPIO17 port26 (sfp2) LOS
GPIO18 port27 (sfp3) TXD
GPIO19 port27 (sfp3) LOS
GPIO20 has POE hardware board fitted
GPIO21 - 23 Board ID

Connectors

Order of pinout is not the same for J1 and J2 …

J1 (connects to LED board)

1: VDD
2: GPIO00 (SYS_LED)
3: LED_CLK (rtl8231)
4: LED_DAT (rtl8231)
5: Reset (rtl8231)
6: GND
7: LED Latch (from POE controller?)
8: MOSI (from POE controller?)
9: LED Output enable (from POE controller?)
10: SCK (from POE controller?)

J2 (Connects to POE board)

1: VDD
2: VDD
3: JTAG_TDO
4: JTAG_TMS
5: JTAG_TCK
6: JTAG_TDI
7: GND
8: GND
9: MOSI (from POE controller?)
10: LED Latch (from POE controller?)
11: SCK (from POE controller?)
12: LED Output enable (from POE controller?)

Probably to test/sniff the POE leds and/or program the POE micro controller; though that one has its own pinout (J3) …

`rtk network on` in U-Boot sets all SPI pins to SPI pins, which breaks the reset GPIO. Use

'rtk network on; mw 0xbb0003a0 0x00340000; tftpboot; bootm'

instead
