Hi, I am looking for a solution for working with OSFP-XD 1.6 (and higher) transceivers. Your documentation states that CodingBox supports various hardware programmer solutions. Are there plans to develop a programmer for the XD format, and if so, what is the estimated timeframe for the…
Small homelab, two second-hand switches and a drawer of optics collected over the years, most of which the hosts refuse because of the vendor code. Recoding has always been the blocker: a proper programmer sits around 369 USD, which is more than I paid for the switches, and the Ubiquiti SFP Wizard…
A good half of my work is putting one company's optics into another company's switch, so I spend a lot of time asking a module what it thinks it is. My toolbox for that is currently one command deep, and I would like to know what else is worth putting on the bench machine. Linux boxes with SFP+ and…
We recode a small batch of modules for customer hosts most months, nothing exotic: read the original page, write the vendor string the host wants, put the module in the switch and move on. One module out of the current batch refuses every write while reading back perfectly, and before I bin it I…
I do small batches of module recoding for integrators, and until now everything on my bench has been SFP-shaped: read the 256 bytes at A0h with the serial ID in the first half, read A2h for the diagnostics and thresholds, write the identification block, done. A customer has now turned up with 100G…
I keep a shelf of pulled SFPs at home and I would like to be able to read their EEPROM, repair a module whose checksum got mangled, and occasionally recode one for a switch that is picky about vendor strings. Buying a commercial programmer for a handful of modules a year makes no sense here, so I…
I keep a small pool of shared modules: the nodes are scattered around the city, and I have to recode SFP modules for almost every switch that isn't mine. With gigabit modules the routine has been solid for a long time, but a 10G one just stopped me cold. What's on the bench: a programmer with an…
The thread starter wanted to reprogram GBIC and SFP module EEPROMs but found that guides were disappearing from forums. Questions covered which programmer to use, where to attach the I2C lines on the module, whether the module needs 5 V (GBIC) or 3.3 V (SFP), and how to treat the memory as a…
