Hardware

  • SoC: RTL839x
  • Ethernet:
    • 3× RTL8218 (to be confirmed)
    • 1× RTL???? (combo ports)
  • RAM: Nanya NT5CB64M16FP-DH, 128MiB DDR3
  • Flash: Macronix MX25L1283F, 16MiB SPI NOR
  • PoE controller: STM32F100
  • PoE PSE: 6× BCM59111
  • GPIO:
    • RTL8231 as GPIO expander: MII mode, device address 0x3
    • 3× RTL8231 as shift register: port status LEDs
    • HC164 shift register for device status LEDs
  • ADT7468 (I2C/SMBus) thermal controller with 3× 3-pin fan
  • Sipex SP3232 RS-232 transceiver

The serial port header J2 uses the standard DCE pinout, with TX/RX on pins 2 and 3, and ground on pin 5. Port settings are 9600 baud, 8n1, with ±5.6V logic levels.

The PoE management MCU and the ADT7468 fan controller are on a shared I2C bus. The PoE MCU is at address 0x20, while the fan controller is at (fixed) address 0x2E.
